Quasi-peak

Quasi-peak

Quasi-peak means 'not quite peak', or 'aiming towards peak but not actually peak'. The term is commonly used when referring to electronic detectors or rectifiers. Despite the above definition, the term quasi-peak should not be interpreted as vague in any way. Quasi-peak detectors for specific purposes usually have been standardized with mathematically precisely defined dynamic characteristics, in terms of 'attack time', 'integration time', and 'decay time' or 'fall-back' time.
