Sources of Uncertainty in the Nose-to-Nose Sampler Calibration Method

October 1, 2003
Author(s)
Nicholas Paulter, Donald R. Larson
We analyze the nose-to-nose (ntn) method for use as an accurate sampler calibration method. The variations in the measurement of the sampler impulse response using the ntn method are presented, and the validity of the assertion that the kick-out pulse is

The IPC-2252, Design Guide for RF/Microwave Circuit Boards

September 1, 2003
Author(s)
Nicholas G. Paulter Jr.
The IPC-2252,'Design Guide for RF/Microwave Circuit Boards,'[1] (superceding the IPC-D-316) was published in July 2002. The IPC-2252 provides information pertaining to the design, fabrication, and test of printed wiring board used in high-frequency (100

Measuring the Response of High-Speed Pulse Generators and Samplers

August 1, 2003
Author(s)
Nicholas Paulter, Donald R. Larson
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides a service for measuring parameters associated with the step response of high-speed (transition durations > 7 ps) samplers and the output signals of high-speed pulse generators. These

IEEE TC-10: What's It All About?

May 1, 2003
