A NANOSECOND SAMPLING OSCILLOSCOPE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4046277

A sampling oscilloscope is described which can be used in conjunction with any slow oscilloscope. The rise time is shorter than 1 nsec. The sweep length can be continuously varied from 10/sup -//sup 8/ sec to 0 sec. The total range which can be scanned is 250 nsec. The scan-time can be varied in 8 steps from 1 sec to approx equal 7.5 msec. The maximum sensitivity is 50 mV/cm, with slow oscilloscope sensitivity of 50 mV/cm, and signals up to 8 V are displayed linearly, via the direct low impedance input. This input impedance was chosen to be 125 OMEGA , but other impedances are equally valid. A high impedance probe is available, giving a calibrated over-all attenuation of 2.7, 10, 100, or 1000. The maximum acceptable repetition rate of the input signal is 100 kc/s. The equivalent noise at the 125 OMEGA input is less than 10 mV. (auth)
