The new design of these transition time converters ensures very low signal reflection far beyond the 3 dB point unlike conventional converters.

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

The converters are fitted with SMA connectors one male one female.

These converters have been designed to convert the fixed transition-times of the Agilent 8133A 3 GHz timing generator (<100 ps transitions) to slower fixed transition-times (150 ps 250 ps 500 ps 1 ns 2 ns) 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.

The converters can be used with the following products too:

• 81130A with 81131A 400 MHz pulse/pattern generator (800/1600 ps transitions)
• 81130A with 81132A 660 MHz pulse/data generator (<500 ps transitions)
• 81200 Data generator/analyzer platform
• 81250 Parallel Bit Error Ratio Tester
• 8131A 500 MHz pulse generator (<200 ps transitions)
• 80000 1GHz data generator modules E2902A E2903A E2905A E2906A (<250 ps transitions)
