What is the pulse width for the mark pulse in an equal mark to space ratio pulse train operating at a repetition frequency of 5 MHz?

The answer is suppose to be 100 ns .But I didn't understand how to get the result.Can someone explain to me how to get the answer? Thanks in advance

  • \$\begingroup\$ 1/ What is the period time of a 5MHz signal. 2/ What does "equal mark to space ratio" mean for a signal timing. From the answer to those two questions you should be able to find your final answer.. \$\endgroup\$

A 5MHz waveform has a period of 200ns ( T = 1/f)

If the waveform has equal mark space ratio, then the duty is 50%. The width of a pulse is therefore 50% of the total period

A frequency of 5MHz has a period of 200ns. That's divided into one mark and one space. If the mark and space durations are equal, then each is exactly half of 200ns.
