Abstract

We review NIST efforts in high-speed waveform metrology and place these in the context of the Euramet project on dynamical metrology. Aspects of waveform metrology that need particular consideration for high-speed electrical applications are discussed. These include time calibration, the effect of the wave-like nature of the electrical signal, the requirement of low uncertainties in both the time and frequency domains, and the dynamic nature of the measurements, thus making deconvolution necessary.
