Abstract

In a sampling gate circuit, a broadband and high-precision sampling gate circuit is realized by further employing first and second equivalent sampling networks which are equal to a sampling operation by a first sampling gate circuit. The first and second equivalent sampling networks compensate for distortions in the signal output by the first sampling gate circuit and allow an input waveform to be reproduced at high precision. The output from the first sampling gate circuit is input to a positive terminal of a differential amplifier. The outputs from the first and second equivalent sampling networks are input into two respective negative inputs of a differential amplifier, to cancel the distortions of the signal output from the first sampling gate circuit and input to the positive terminal of the differential amplifier. This device may find particular application in sampling type oscilloscopes or the like.
