A Review of Single Transient Oscillographic Recorders with Gigahertz Bandwidth

This paper has reviewed the status of gigahertz bandwidth single transient oscillographic recording instruments and their CRT´s. I would like to emphasize again the ideal recording instrument from a fusion experiments, target diagnostics, point of view shown in figure 2. The French work appears to be addressing this concept most closely. We are waiting to see and evaluate the actual recording instruments that emerge during the next few years.
