Abstract :
The pulse parameters of amplitude and transition duration are dependent on the waveform epoch and transition occurrence instant of the pulse transition in the waveform epoch. The primary explanations for the observed variations are the pulse aberrations and settling behavior of both the pulse generator and the measurement instrument (sampling oscilloscope). Measurement results are included for three pulse generators and two sampling oscilloscopes.
