Modulation Parameter
Required to model the continuous
change of arc length in each arcing
cycle
To simulate the sinusoidal flicker
phenomenon amplitude modulation
index , m is chosen as the parameter
For stochastic (non sinusoidal ) flicker
modeling the noise power ,P is
selected as the modulation parameter.

Maximum value
occurs at f = 8.8 Hz
So the rate of change

not be around that
value.
