The antenna patterns and the power gain at the peak of the beam were both measured ( Mayer, McCullough, and Sloanaker, 1958 ), so that the absolute power sensitivity of the antenna beam over the solid angle of the moon was known.

However, a common and well-accepted metric is the half power points ( i. e. frequency where the power goes down by half its peak value ) on the output vs. frequency curve.

Before the development of silicon power rectifier diodes, cuprous oxide and later selenium was used ; its low efficiency gave it a much higher forward voltage drop ( typically 1. 4 to 1. 7 V per " cell ", with multiple cells stacked to increase the peak inverse voltage rating in high voltage rectifiers ), and required a large heat sink ( often an extension of the diode ’ s metal substrate ), much larger than a silicon diode of the same current ratings would require.

In Europe the power limit laid down for use of the DECT spectrum ( 250 mW peak ) was expressed in ERP, rather than the more commonly used EIRP, permitting the use of high-gain directional antennas to produce much higher EIRP and hence long ranges.

* Average transmission power: ( 250 mW peak ) in Europe, 4 mW ( 100 mW peak ) in the US

However practical devices have a limit to the peak current they can pass, and the pulse must therefore be widened, to around 120 degrees, to obtain a reasonable amount of power, and the efficiency is then 60-70 %.

The electric propulsion missions already flown, or currently scheduled, have used solar electric power, limiting their capability to operate far from the Sun, and also limiting their peak acceleration due to the mass of the electric power source.

Other applications rely on the peak pulse power ( rather than the energy in the pulse ), especially in order to obtain nonlinear optical effects.

This results in a short pulse incorporating that energy, and thus a high peak power.

Such mode-locked lasers are a most versatile tool for researching processes occurring on extremely short time scales ( known as femtosecond physics, femtosecond chemistry and ultrafast science ), for maximizing the effect of nonlinearity in optical materials ( e. g. in second-harmonic generation, parametric down-conversion, optical parametric oscillators and the like ) due to the large peak power, and in ablation applications.

Again, because of the extremely short pulse duration, such a laser will produce pulses which achieve an extremely high peak power.
