I recently purchased a new oscilloscope for home use. It’s a 250 MHz scope, but I was curious what the actual -3dB frequency was as most scopes have a bit more upper end margin than their published ...

When working with hardware, whether a repair or a fresh build, it’s often necessary to test something. Depending on what you’re working with, this can be easy or a total pain if you can’t get the ...

The PVX-4110 is a ±10 kV pulse output generator that is optimized to drive deflection plates, grids and other capacitive loads. It is protected against arcs, short circuits and load transients with ...

This 50 MHz pulse generator was built as solid as a rock. It’s almost all metal. We take the unit completely apart and look at it from a system and board level. On a visit to the MIT swapfest in 2024, ...

Abstract: This article presents the implementation of a high-voltage pulse generator for portable ultrawideband (UWB) electromagnetic pulse (EMP) generation. The generator is designed to meet the ...

Abstract: This article presents a 128-Gb/s current-mode four-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-4) transmitter (TX) with a pre-emphasis asymmetric fractional-spaced feed-forward equalizer (AFS-FFE) ...

Physicists have created a compact laser that emits extremely bright, short pulses of light in a useful but difficult-to-achieve wavelength range, packing the performance of larger photonic devices ...
