The S-4 sampling gate is based upon a traveling wave trapped-charge transmission line  
The [[Sampler#Six-Diode_Sampler|S-4 sampling gate]] is based upon a traveling wave trapped-charge transmission line  
in which the sampling window is set by the propagation time of a pulse edge through a thick-film transmission line.  
in which the sampling window is set by the propagation time of a pulse edge through a thick-film transmission line.  
This technique requires only a sharp pulse edge rather than a precise pulse width, which is harder to generate.
