Picosecond Pulse Labs Launches Pickoff Tee

Dec. 6, 2007

Picosecond Pulse Labs has introduced an extremely broadband impedance-matched pickoff tee that provides a scaled 5X (14-dB) pickoff of an input signal ideal for monitoring or testing. With a bandwidth of DC to 26 GHz, the 50-ohm model 5372 Z-matched pickoff tee features excellent throughline risetime of 12 ps with pickoff risetime of typically 15 ps. Pickoff group-delay variations are less than 20 ps. The return loss through 20 GHz is 15 dB or better. Standard models are supplied with SMA connectors, although other connectors are available.
