This paper describes a study on the characteristics of preliminary breakdown pulses (PBPs) preceding negative return strokes. Such characterization is needed due to the lack of available data, especially for negative lightning, in Malaysia. Measurements were carried out in Johor Bahru, Malaysia in O...
