新的IEEE标准-非活动撤销。 技术的进步和通信技术的进步导致人们对能量爆发的认识不断提高。这种干扰所需信号的脉冲被恰当地归类为噪声。例如，在信息传输中，低冗余的信号极易受到突发干扰。在声学中，脉冲型可听声音是一个越来越重要的问题，因为它可能会引起麻烦；此外，脉冲性质的高强度固体能量有时会导致结构失效。 虽然人们对持续时间相对较短的量感兴趣，但就峰值振幅、重复率和波形而言，对这些量的统计数据知之甚少。鉴于能量爆发在现代技术中发挥着越来越重要的作用，应建立公认的识别和描述类爆发事件的程序。显然，没有一种测量方法能同样地满足所有要求。这里描述的技术基于一组定义，这些定义被选择为易于适用于许多工程应用。

New IEEE Standard - Inactive-Withdrawn. The evolution of technology and the advancement of communications have resulted in an increased awareness of energy bursts. Such bursts which interfere with desired signals are properly classified as noise. In the transmission of information, for example, signals which have low redundancy are highly vulnerable to burst interference. In acoustics, audible sound of the impulsive type is an increasingly important problem because of the annoyance it may cause; moreover, high-intensity solid-borne energy of an impulsive character sometimes produces structural failures. While quantities of relatively short time duration are of widespread interest, little is known about the statistics of these quantities insofar as peak amplitudes, repetition rates and wave shapes are concerned. In view of the increasingly important role played by energy bursts in modern technology, accepted procedures for identifying and characterizing burst-like events should be established. Obviously, no single method of measurement will satisfy all requirements equally well. The techniques described here are based on a set of definitions which have been chosen to be easily adaptable to many engineering applications.
