Abstract :
A through-line electrical sampler with 100 GHz of bandwidth and sampling rates in excess of 10 Gsamples/s has been fabricated and characterized. The sampling aperture is estimated to be approximately 3 ps. The linear dynamic range is >2 Vpp. The performance of this sampling component enables significant advancements in high-speed test and measurement equipment and mm-wave Ultra-wideband (UWB) receivers.
