Abstract :
A cathode-ray tube with an electrostatic deflection system operated directly by high-voltage pulses would circumvent many of the problems encountered in the measurement and display of such pulses. The conventional techniques of measurement have not kept up with recent advances in the techniques of generation of high-voltage pulses. This difficulty of measurement seems to be particularly great in the radar field, where modern requirements demand shorter pulses of higher peak powers than ever before. As radar transmitter powers have increased, the problems of measuring and timing modulator pulse shapes and amplitudes have become increasingly difficult.
