Abstract
A test and measurement device includes an input port to receive an input signal, a sampling circuit structured to generate a sample from the input signal, in which generating the sample from the input signal produces an amount of kickout energy, and an energy reducing circuit coupled between the sampling circuit and one or more other components of the test and measurement device, the energy reducing circuit structured to decrease the amount of kickout energy from the sampling circuit. The energy reducing circuit may include or be combined with a pick-off circuit. Methods are also described.
