Note Pulse power averages out any aberrations in the pulse such as
overshooting or ringing. For this reason it is called pulse power
and not peak power or peak pulse power.
In order to ensure accurate pulse power readings, the input signal
must be pulsed with a rectangular pulse. Other pulse shapes (such
as triangle, chirp or Gaussian) will cause erroneous results.
The pulse power on/off ratio must be much greater than the duty
cycle ratio.
