Yes — BNC’s DEI pulsed power systems and digital delay generators are frequently integrated in the same test setups. The DDG (e.g. Model 577 or 588) provides precise timing control — triggering the pulsed power event at a defined delay and pulse width — while the DEI high-voltage unit (such as the EVO series power…
Yes — while BNC’s pulse delay generators (such as the Model 577) are primarily designed as precision timing instruments, they are frequently used to trigger or gate high-voltage pulsed power systems. In these setups, the DDG provides the precise timing signal that initiates the pulsed power event, with the actual high-voltage switching handled by a…
You can, but there are some considerations to make. A current driver may be less problematic. See https://www.berkeleynucleonics.com/february-15th-2022-pitfalls-using-pulse-generator-drive-laser-diode for further reading.
Moore’s Law and quantum computing follow fundamentally different scaling paths Moore’s Law tracks transistor density, while quantum computing scales by qubit count and error rate. [Learn more on our Quantum Computing Course →] https://academy.berkeleynucleonics.com/p/quantum-computing
To design a receiver, engineers will need to select transistors for the design. You could obtain a sample of the transistor and perform noise parameter measurements while possibly setting the transistor to different power consumption settings and also varying the temperature. This gives the engineer complete information on how to select “matching” components (inductors and…
Use the following settings for HyperTerminal – Baud rate: 9600, Data bits: 8, Parity: None, Stop bits: 1, Flow control: None, Emulation: VT 100
Symmetry would require a fast discharge of capacitors used to produce exponential tails. The critical issue in the PB-5 is to preserve exponential decay with a clean return to the baseline. The PB-5 meets the same fall time specification as the PB-4 with a cleaner signal as it decays to the baseline – allowing twice…
155 uV adjustments can be made on the key pad or spinner knob. Each “click” of the spinner makes this minimum adjustment. (Turning the spinner fast will allow it to slew millivolts or volts.)
No, the clamp simply preserves the amplitude of the pulse when the tail time is long compared to the desired rep rate. This feature is accomplished by clamping the pulse to the baseline before the exponential decay is completed thus allowing the next pulse to start from the baseline rather than some point on the…
Best results are accomplished by multiple sweeps at the shortest ramp time (90 seconds). Set the number of sweeps to 999, giving a run time of just over 24 hours. For unusually demanding needs, the measurement can be repeated for several days. Since any temperature corrections are made between sweeps (not during the ramp), ramp…
