How to Derive the RMS Value of Pulse and Square Waveforms

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

Summary:

The RMS value of a pulse waveform can be easily calculated starting with the RMS definition. The pulse waveform is shown in Figure 1. The ratio t1/T is the pulse signal duty-cycle. As shown in other articles in this website (How to Derive the RMS Value of a Trapezoidal Waveform and How to Derive the RMS Value of a Triangle Waveform), the RMS definition is an integral over the signal period as in equation (1).
