The adoption of quality standards, such as ISO 9000, coupled with the growth in computerized, digital-storage-oscilloscope-based measuring systems has led to a demand for cost-effective, automated, oscilloscope calibration. Historically, the calibration of 100 ps pulse response in oscilloscopes has proven to be the most troublesome area for both the calibrator manufacturer and the end user, primarily due t the technical difficulties in generating and delivering a traceable, low-distortion pulse. Wavetek Corporation has introduced and oscilloscope calibrator that delivers 100 ps pulse response in an automated system.
