K complexes - are they a single brain wave or a brief burst of brain waves?

In  the text book, it says 'brief burst of low frequency and high amplitude brain waves'
then in the VCAA report, it clearly says one single brain wave

VCAA
• K-complexes – a single low frequency, high amplitude brain wave
• Sleep spindles – brief bursts of higher frequency brain waves

so which one is it? or does it matter?
