The 5087 series is ancient technology that has mediocre performance.
I remember looking at the circuit designs in the series

Hi
If you decide to optimize the transformers, it’s pretty easy to do:
Bought in bulk (like by the pound) ferrite binocular cores (two hole ferrite
beads) are quite cheap. The last batches I got were sub 10 cents each. You can
get them in a variety of sizes and compositions. Obviously bigger is
Although my current project doesn't have the strict requirements that
many of you have, I thought I would mention part of it, due to the
recent talk of distribution amps.
I am putting one of the FE5680A's that I bought a while back into a
permanent home. I have a nice box from a gutted HP microwav

I just grabbed a pair! (After missing out on the Soekris boxes!)
They should go well with the A2100 Timing Receivers that are currently
sat in customs, and the Z3
These are handy little boxes for the money. Unfortunately the outputs are
not isolated from each other (galvanically and signal-wise) so be mindful
that if you connect/disconnect one port, the adjacent port will be
affected. Unless you need to, it is probably best to wire all 3 inputs in
parallel (

I *THINK* it should meet my needs except the HV bit worries me. It
seems this means it has not got unity gain, but a gain of 0.7 or 1
volt, switch selectable. Could anyone comment

If you slew rate limit the square wave (which is reality) you get a sin(x)/x
frequency response. It doesn't go to infinity, but the lobes keep going for
quite a while.
Things like cables and connectors have upper frequency limits as well. A square
wave will only be happy with a linear phas

Of course you can't have a perfect square wave! That would imply zero
transition time and since frequency is inverse to time that implies infinitely
high frequency bandwidth is required to achieve that perfect square wave.
Getting a "square" wave with a "fast enough" slew rate between high and
The below is correct but a simpler way to say it is this:
"A square wave contains the fundamental frequency plus every odd harmonic
up to infinity. A sine wave contains only the fundamental frequency."
It is the "up to infinity" part that causes all the trouble. And yes it

Hi
If you have a sine wave, it gets into everything. You can identify it and take
it out of your data.
If you have a broad band uber-fast high level pules, it gets into everything.
Identifying it's impact and taking it out of the data - not so easy.
That may sound a bit crazy. I've actually wo

Trigger jitter is the noise at the trigger point. it's a combination
of thermal noise and the slew-rate at the trigger points. It is often
