Damped Oscillatory Wave (DOW) test standards can be a source of frustration to the practicing test engineer. They contain pulses which at first glance seem very similar to one another. This causes confusion. Damping rates, or Q, and other pulse parameters are specified differently among these standards. More confusion. Labs with legacy test equipment for these standards report difficulties with repeatability and reliability in generating DOW waveforms. HV TECHNOLOGIES has the solution to these problems.
