The 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. This technique requires only a sharp pulse edge rather than a precise pulse width, which is harder to generate. | The 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.

The sampling diodes are housed in a special coaxial connector that provides a high bandwidth signal path. | The sampling diodes are housed in a special coaxial connector that provides a high bandwidth signal path. | ||
To disassemble the sampler hybrid, first remove it from the sampler board as per the manual. Remove the input | |||
connector using a 7/32" wrench and remove the 20 dB attenuator with small plyers. The ceramic board is held | |||
to the housing using roll pins that can be pressed out with a 0.030" pin punch. The hybrid has six diodes, | |||
each about 0.75mm square. The cathodes are glued to the gold substrate with conductive epoxy and the anodes | |||
are wire-bonded (twice) over a gap to the next step in the strobe line. It appears that a standard beam-lead | |||
diode may fit across the gap but cleanly removing a failed diode without damaging the substrate would be | |||
quite difficult. | |||
