The Tektronix 067-0513-00 tunnel diode pulse generator is battery powered and is used for checking step function response of all Tektronix sampling systems. It can be used with a minimum of correction due to pulse source risetime limitations.
The repetition rate varies from ~50 kHz to 150 kHz, depending on battery condition. A pretrigger (60 to 70 ns early) permits operation in conjunction with any of the Tektronix sampling systems.
The pulse contains a transistor blocking oscillator, an adjustable diode drive clamp, a delay cable and a 100 mA, 6 pF tunnel diode mounted in a special coaxial air line environment. The free running blocking oscillator generates a 50 ns pulse with adequate amplitude to drive the clamp, tunnel diode, and pretrigger. The diode clamp, 30 ns from the blocking oscillator, flattens the negative going pulse at a level just sufficient to switch the 100 mA tunnel diode, which is another 30 ns past the clamp. This device draws ~1.5 mA.
Battery life is approximately one month with average use.
