The S4 sampling plug-in head provides one 50-ohm SMA input port with a 25ps risetime and a bandwidth of 14.5GHz. The unit provides a trigger pickoff signal for internal triggering and is specified for less than 5mV of noise. The S4 is the fastest of the S-series plug-in samplers. A interesting comparison of different sampling heads is found in [http://www.picosecond.com/objects/AN-02a.pdf "AN-3042a, Revision 1, 2/89"]. | The S-4 was designed by George Frye and introduced in 1968.

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 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.
