Author(s)

Dylan Williams, Tracy S. Clement, Paul D. Hale, Andrew Dienstfrey

Abstract

We discuss procedures for calibrating high-speed sampling oscilloscopes at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the terminology associated with those calibrations. The discussion clarifies not only the calibration procedures, but how to use the calibrations to perform traceable oscilloscope measurements.
