High speed pulse generator
« on: May 13, 2022, 04:38:13 pm »
Does anyone know of a pulse generator that provides variable length pulses with a minimum of 50 picoseconds? The PSPL10070A went down to 100 ps, but is no longer available. Is there a modern alternative or are all the T&M companies just going to try and sell me an AWG?

Just bumping this. 100 ps I should say could be acceptable. Highland technology seems to make something around 100 ps, but I'm shopping around.

There are lies, damned lies, statistics - and ADC/DAC specs.

This one's minimum pulse width is 300 ps, but it will do a <70ps rise time for a 5V pulse.

This Berkeley Nucleonics Model appears to be a repacked version of the Active Technologies Generator.

A 50 ps pulse is pretty short.  What's the application?
