This paper derives the temporal bandwidth of a multichannel streak camera from scanning and Fourier theories. It first describes what a multichannel streak-camera system is and then models the camera through the use of a transformation from the spatial to time domain. The image on the photocathode surface is transformed mathematically to the phosphor through the use of a convolution of the image and a moving aperture. The resulting image on the phosphor then becomes a function of both space and time. A Fourier transform of this function gives both a spatial and temporal bandwidth of the tube. From the model it can be shown how to properly use the tube to obtain temporal data.
