The S4 sampling gate is based upon a traveling wave trapped-charge transmission line in which the sampling window is set by the propagation time of 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 sampling diodes are housed in a special coaxial connector that provides a high bandwidth signal path.
