Abstract :
We develop analytic expressions for the impulse response and kickout pulses of a simple sampling circuit that incorporate the nonlinear junction capacitance of the sampling diode. We examine the effects of both the time-varying junction capacitance and conductance on the impulse response and kickout pulses, and discuss their impact on the accuracy of the nose-to-nose calibration technique
