Direct Subnanosecond Voltage Monitors

Abstract

Advanced system development in the subnanosecond time frame increasingly demands high-resolution voltage measurements for both single-shot and repetitive operation. Voltage monitors having capabilities up to the hundred kilovolt level have been developed for direct measurements in discrete and transmission line geometries. Resolutions of 100 ps at 100 kV to 30 ps at 20 kV have been achieved. Detailed test data is presented and ultimate voltage scaling limits are discussed.
