Pulsed Operation

Pulsed Operation is a propulsion modulation technique in electric thrusters whereby the discharge current and associated plasma acceleration are intermittently activated in discrete temporal bursts rather than sustained continuously, thereby distinguishing it from steady-state operation through controlled on-off cycling of power and propellant injection to optimize performance and efficiency.
