Tektronix offers attenuators with SMA connectors for 18 GHz applications, 2.92 mm connectors for 40 GHz applications, and

1.85 mm connectors for 60 GHz applications.

The PSPL5510 Series of attenuators address a need of customers for whom speciﬁed frequency-domain response only is not enough. For time domain measurements, it is important to know the transient response of attenuators used in a test set-up.

Tektronix offers a variety of inverting transformers and differential pulse splitters (baluns). These baluns transform an unbalanced 50 ohm input into a balanced 100 ohm differential output, and are made of passive components and are therefore bi-directional. Tektronix baluns are an effective means for using single-ended test equipment (VNA's, pattern generators) for taking differential measurements.

Max DC Voltage

Tektronix ampliﬁers and drivers are designed to provide the best possible time domain response and are ideal for applications requiring broadband frequency response and high speed performance.

The selection provides a complete line of ampliﬁers including a 12.5 Gb/s lithium niobate driver ampliﬁer and a series of broadband linear ampliﬁers with bandwidths up to 45 GHz.

Tektronix DC blocks are high performance ultra-broadband components used for isolating DC voltages while allowing data signals to pass through unaffected.

The PSPL5500 Series of DC Blocks are extremely broadband coaxial blocking capacitors. Due to the coaxial construction, excellent microwave performance and transient response is achieved. Large capacitance values provide low frequency response down to the kHz range.

Bias Tees

Tektronix bias tees are used to supply an

active device like an ampliﬁer, laser diode,

photodiode, or optical modulator with a

bias current or bias voltage while allowing

high speed, ultra-broadband signals to

pass through with minimum signal

degradation.

These bias tees have low insertion loss,

very broad frequency response, and

exceptional time domain performance.

Tektronix designs low-pass (risetime) ﬁlters that produce very clean transient responses. Risetime ﬁlters are also sometimes called Transition Time Converters or TTC's. These ﬁlters are based on a proprietary, absorption design that has frequency responses that are similar to Bessel-Thomson (B-T) ﬁlters, but provide superior transient response.

Tektronix offers the most popular ﬁlters for Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and SONET data rates up to 40 Gb/s

Tektronix Power Dividers are resistive tees that have excellent performance and frequency response from DC to as high as 50 GHz. Models PSPL5331, PSPL5333, and PSPL5350 split the signal into two equal replicas of the input signal. Both outputs are 6 dB down from the input power.

Several versions of Pick-Off Tees are available. These components produce a small replica of a signal at a pick-off port, at ratios of 10, 14, or 20 dB down from the input signal level.
