Agilent / HP 15438A

This Time Converter ensures very low signal reflection far beyond the 3dB point, unlike conventional converters.

Reducing the signal transition times also increases the overall pulse-performance for overshoot/reflection sensitive applications.

These converters are fitted with SMA connectors, one male, one female.

p>This unit has been designed to convert the fixed transition-times of the Agilent 8133A 3GHz timing generator (<100ps transitions) to slower, fixed transition-times (150ps, 250ps, 500ps, 1ns, 2ns) hence reducing the signal bandwidth.

All transition-times are from 10% to 90% of amplitude.

The transition time converters can be cascaded to get transitions which are intermediate values equal to the square root of the sum of the values squared.
