Motivation
PNA-X Non-linear network analyzer application
Measurement technique uses a phase reference
Implemented as a pulse generator
Non ideal magnitude and phase characteristics
Traceability to known standard needed, especially phase

Equivalent time sampling scope
Real time scope have limited bandwidth
Equivalent time sampling scope samples a short window in time
by opening closing the switch
Re-triggers a small amount of time later
Piece by piece filling in the picture
![Page 8: Calibration technique for calibrating high speed ......Calibration of Sampling Oscilloscopes with high-speed photodiodes; Clement, Hale, Williams, Wang, Dienstfrey, Keenan; 2006 dy/dt](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022043009/5f9d6f1419a54a188d745f43/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Jitter, drift and time base distortion
Inaccuracies in the time base
• Drift (time base reference)
• Jitter (random and systematic)
Imperfections in the switch
• Finite opening and closing time
• Leakage
• Mismatches in the transmission line
All leads to finite impulse response
![Page 9: Calibration technique for calibrating high speed ......Calibration of Sampling Oscilloscopes with high-speed photodiodes; Clement, Hale, Williams, Wang, Dienstfrey, Keenan; 2006 dy/dt](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022043009/5f9d6f1419a54a188d745f43/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Measurement methods
Three classes of methods
• Swept sine calibration
– magnitude only method
• “Nose to Nose” calibration
– depends on reciprocal pulse kick out and impulse response assumption
– research has shown this has limitations above 25 GHz *
• Calibration with known pulse source
– Our method described here is in the latter
* Systematic error of the nose-to-nose sampling oscilloscope calibration; Williams, K. Remley, Paul D. Hale; 2007
![Page 10: Calibration technique for calibrating high speed ......Calibration of Sampling Oscilloscopes with high-speed photodiodes; Clement, Hale, Williams, Wang, Dienstfrey, Keenan; 2006 dy/dt](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022043009/5f9d6f1419a54a188d745f43/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Known pulse source
Need to be sufficiently fast, 90 GHz bandwidth
Ideal system, pulse source is de-convolved from measurement
by sampling scope impulse response or complex frequency
response
In practice there are many imperfections that need our attention
• Drift
• Time base distortion
• Jitter
• Impedance mismatch
