Abstract
The spectra of the "kick-out" pulses used in a proposed sampler calibration method were examined. The proposed calibration method requires that the amplitude of these pulses be linear with an adjustment parameter called the offset voltage. The kick-out pulses were observed to have a nonlinear dependence on offset voltage, and this may affect the application of the proposed calibration method
