[time-nuts] Tektronix Sample Heads

[Alexander Pummer]

and  be very careful, it does not tolerate more than ±2  volts input! it 
was originally designed for the CSA 803A and requires a relative 
complicated control system, it has a 15  to 18 picoseconds rise time, 50 
ohms input, and at least 30dB return loss at 18GHz. If both inputs are 
used they are differential.
