Is the RMS Detector a Convenient Measurement Detector for the Interference Effect on Digital Radio Communication Services?

•The Quasi-Peak detector was developed to weight repetitive pulsed disturbance with respect to its effect on analog radio systems •For a digital communication system using no error correcting codes, it has been shown that the output of the RMS detector can be related to the disturbing effect for repetitive pulsed interference. •For a powerful error correcting code, the RMS value is approximately constant with respect to the pulse repetition frequency of the disturbance signal. • The RMS detector might be a proper detector for future emission standards
