täitumistegur

Täitumistegur, often translated as "fill factor" or "duty cycle," is a concept used in various fields, particularly in engineering and electronics. It quantifies the proportion of time a system or signal is active or "on" within a given period. Essentially, it represents the ratio of the active duration to the total duration of a cycle.

In the context of pulsed signals, such as those used in power electronics or digital communications, the täitumistegur indicates how much of the pulse period is occupied by the signal's presence. A täitumistegur of 50% means the signal is on for half the time and off for the other half. A täitumistegur of 100% implies the signal is continuously on, while 0% means it is continuously off.

The value of the täitumistegur can significantly impact the behavior and performance of a system. For instance, in switching power supplies, it directly influences the output voltage and current. In motor control, it determines the average power delivered to the motor. Understanding and controlling the täitumistegur is crucial for efficient and effective operation in many technological applications. The unitless täitumistegur is typically expressed as a percentage or a decimal between 0 and 1.
