Abstract
A sampler adapted for the measurement of ultra-short electrical pulses of a very broad spectrum. The sampler has an electrical pulse propagation structure (i.e., propagation line) made up of a series of line sections. The line sections are linked to one another by switches which can be commanded electrically. Normally, the switches are on or closed. The taking of samples can occur by opening the switches to thereby confine the totality of the charges carried by the pulse to the different sections that make up the propagation line. Once the switches are opened, the charge may be sampled in each section.
