Appendix B. Passive Elements for Test Setups
Rainer Plitschka
In many test scenarios, we cannot directly connect a device under test to our test instruments. If the signal properties of the device output and the specifications of the instrument are incompatible, the instrument or the device may not function properly and may even be damaged.
In this appendix, we describe passive devices commonly used in situations where we need to condition the output signal of a device so that it can be analyzed with available test equipment: attenuators, power splitters and dividers, variable delay lines, filters and transition time converters, and finally DC ...
