The new design of these transition time converters ensures very low signal reflection far beyond the 3 dB point, unlike conventional converters.

Reducing the signal transition-times also increases the overall pulse-performance for overshoot/reflection sensitive applications.

The converters are fitted with SMA connectors, one male, one female.

These converters have been designed to convert the fixed transition-times of the Agilent 8133A 3 GHz timing generator (<100 ps transitions) to slower, fixed transition-times (150 ps, 250 ps, 500 ps, 1 ns, 2 ns) hence reducing the signal bandwidth. All transition-times are from 10% to 90% of amplitude.

The transition time converters can be cascaded to get transitions which are intermediate values equal to the square root of the sum of the values squared.
