Abstract
This paper presents an active linear gate that is able to transmit fast pulses with minimum distortion. The gate exhibits switching times better than 3 ns, pedestal, and a feedthrough of 0.3%. In the field of experimental high-energy physics, the gate was successfully used in measuring the speed response of a fast scintillating calorimeter.
