The QP detector was designed in the 1930s to simulate the response of the human ear to impulsive interference. The classic example at the time was the interference from ignition systems in automobiles to AM broadcast receivers, both in the car and nearby. A single click is well filtered by the ear and brain, but as the repetition rate goes up the perceived annoyance and interference goes up. By the time the repetition rate has reached 10 kHz the ear/brain combination is really annoyed and the quasi-peak detector and a peak detector respond about the same.
Hope this helps. Ghery S.
