produced by the Gate Generator module in the plug-in using a blocking oscillator
The sampling pulse is produced by the Gate Generator module in the plug-in using a blocking oscillator driving a [[152-115]] step recovery diode and a 6.5 cm clipping line.  Balanced pulses are sent up the cable to the sampling gate.  The output of the sampling gate returns to the plug-in through the same cable, and enters the preamp.  The same blocking oscillator that generates the sampling pulses also generates the strobe for the memory circuit.  The sampling efficiency is specified to be 2%.
