Peak and quasi-peak The peak value (PK) represents the instantaneous maximum value of the measured waveform. The corresponding peak detector requires the circuit to charge fast enough and discharge slowly enough. The size of the peak value depends only on the amplitude of the signal. For this reason, when using peak detection scanning during measurement, as long as the peak values of all signals are below the limit, the EUT is qualified and no further measurement is required. The quasi-peak value (QP) represents the size of the measured signal energy. Since the charging time of the quasi-peak detector is much faster than the discharge time, the higher the repetition frequency of the signal, the higher the quasi-peak value obtained. (It is mentioned in GB9254-1998 that when the reading shown on the measuring receiver fluctuates around the limit, the observation time of the reading should be no less than 15s, the highest reading should be recorded, and the isolated instantaneous high value should be ignored.) The quasi-peak detector can also respond to signals of different amplitudes in a linear manner. In this way, the quasi-peak value can reflect both the amplitude of the signal and the time distribution of the signal. Note: 1) A signal with a large amplitude and a low repetition frequency may have the same quasi-peak output as a signal with a small amplitude and a high repetition frequency. 2) For continuous wave signals, the results of quasi-peak measurement are the same as those of peak measurement. 3) Quasi-peak measurement is 2-3 orders of magnitude slower than peak measurement.
