Abstract :
The impedance of the calibration artifact or transfer standard (TS; pulse generator or sampler) is often ignored in high-speed pulse metrology. Using an air line as an integral part of the TS for providing a known impedance for calibration of other instruments is described. The utility of this method is compared to that of using a TS for which its impedance is determined by some other instrument.
