  • Abstract
    Techniques for calibrating and measuring the relative time of arrivals of pulse edges for wafer-probed pulse amplifier ICs are described. Fixturing, waveform dependency, and dc measurement are considered. Criteria for selecting an appropriate level of calibration are described. These techniques are successfully applied in the measurement of sub-30 ps edge transitions from a pulse amplifier IC.
