Template:Plugin Sidebar 2 The Tektronix 7A29 is a 1 GHz single-channel vertical plug-in for 7000-series scopes. It is primarily intended for the 7103 and 7104. Like with the 7A19, a variable signal delay was available as an option.
There is also a 7A29P, which has digitally programmable gain, intended for the 7000 series digitizers.
The 7F10 uses the 7A29's amplifier board after the optical/electrical converter.

Internals
The 7A29 employs a number of Tek-made custom Hypcon-packaged hybrids, the 155-0180-00 fast input protection, 155-0181-00 input amplifier and 155-0175-00 trigger amplifier (2 ×).
It uses a "feed-beside" scheme implemented with standard low-frequency operational amplifiers to compensate for low-frequency anomalies in the frequency response that are attributed to transistor heating.
The input connector is a special Tek-made part that is exactly 50 Ω. Typical BNC connectors are around 52 Ω.
