Pulse circuit United States Patent 06429674

06429674 is referenced by 19 patents.

A pulse generator generates a pulse that is transmitted to a device under test through a signal path that has a substantially constant impedance along its entire length. A voltage on the signal path and a current therethrough is measured in response to the pulse being generated.
