Picosecond 3500

Picosecond 3500 Pulse Generator

The Picosecond 3500 is a high-performance RF pulse generator designed for applications requiring precise and stable pulse generation. Here are the key features and specifications:

• Pulse Characteristics:
  • Pulse Width: 65 ps (FWHM)
  • Amplitude: ±8 V adjustable
  • Baseline Offset: ±5 V adjustable
  • Repetition Rate: 1 MHz
  • Jitter: Low, 1.5 ps RMS[4]
• Functionality:
  • The device is capable of generating high-quality pulses with minimal jitter, making it suitable for applications requiring precise timing and amplitude control.
• Comparison:
  • Unlike other devices such as the MXG X-Series Signal Generators (N5181B and N5182B), which are more versatile and offer a wide range of modulation and sweep capabilities, the Picosecond 3500 is specifically designed for generating picosecond pulses[1][4].
• Application:
  • The device is ideal for applications in fields such as electronics, photonics, and telecommunications where precise pulse generation is crucial.
