Pulse width options depend on which PFN is selected by the PULSE SELECT switch on the RSC; which of the following describes the available options?

• A. A Long Pulse
• B. A Short Pulse
• C. A Medium Pulse
• D. A Long Pulse, A Short Pulse, or a Medium Pulse depending on PFN selection

Answer: (D)

Pulse width comes from the pulse forming network, and the PULSE SELECT switch on the RSC chooses which PFN is used. Each PFN is designed for a specific pulse duration, so switching PFNs changes the width of the emitted pulse. Because you can select among PFNs, the system can produce a long pulse, a short pulse, or a medium pulse depending on which PFN is engaged. The other ideas would imply only one width is ever available, but the switch allows multiple widths by selecting the corresponding PFN.
