Abstract :
This paper deals with the development of a wideband oscilloscope intended for use as a precision-measurement tool. The means by which the performance specifications were determined are outlined, and a discussion is given of the methods by which these objectives were obtained. The various technical problems, such as compensations for both low and high frequencies, the design of attenuator and inverting networks, and test methods, as well as the theory of operation of certain of the components are discussed.
