The duty cycle is a measure of the amount of time a system is active compared to the total time in a given cycle. It is commonly expressed as a percentage and is used in various fields, including electronics, signal processing, and mechanical systems. Mathematically, the duty cycle can be defined as: \\\[ \\text\{Duty Cycle (\\%)\} = \\left( \\frac\{\\text\{Time Active\}\}\{\\text\{Total Time\}\} \\right) \\times 100 \\\] 1.
