PULSE AMPLITUDE

The magnitude of a pulse parameter, such as the field intensity , voltage level, current level, or power level. Note 1: Pulse amplitude is measured with respect to a specified reference and therefore should be modified by qualifiers, such as "average," "instantaneous," "peak," or "root-mean-square." Note 2: Pulse amplitude also applies to the amplitude of frequency - and phase -modulated waveform envelopes.
