	Dear group,

I define a function and parameters of given values as follows;

b=4.472135955/100;
w=2 Pi 7*10^7;
t=0.00000001428571;
rho=0;

p[v_,theta_]:=N[
NIntegrate[(b*Cos[w*x+rho]-
(b*10^(v/20))*Cos[w*x + theta])^2,{x,0,t}]/t]

and then I try to evaluate a simple matrix of function p, and problems occur;


Table[p[v,t],
{v, 0.01, 0.1,0.01}, {t, 0.00175, 0.0175,0.00175}]

NIntegrate::slwcon: 
   Numerical integration converging too slowly; suspect one
     of the following: singularity, oscillatory integrand,
     or insufficient WorkingPrecision.

How should I redefine the WorkingPrecision option, that I could try if 
it helps. Or does anyone notice if something else is fatally wrong in
my definitions.

Thanks,

Petteri
