Abstract

The IEEE has written a new standard on pulse techniques and definitions to replace the withdrawn standards, IEEE-Std-181-1977 and Std-194-1977. The Std-181-2003 combines information from both of the withdrawn standards. Relative to the withdrawn standards, the new standard has incorporated new definitions, deleted and clarified previous definitions,provided examples of different waveform types, updated text to reflect electronic computation methods, and incorporated algorithms for computing waveform parameters. This paper introduces the Std-181-2003 by describing its contents and changes relative to the withdrawn standards.
