Effects of nonlinear diode junction capacitance on the nose-to-nose calibration

We examine the effects of nonlinear diode junction capacitance on the fundamental premise of the nose-to-nose calibration, that the kickout pulse is identical in shape and duration to the impulse response of a sampling circuit. We offer a physical explanation for the error introduced by the nonlinea...

Description
Summary:We examine the effects of nonlinear diode junction capacitance on the fundamental premise of the nose-to-nose calibration, that the kickout pulse is identical in shape and duration to the impulse response of a sampling circuit. We offer a physical explanation for the error introduced by the nonlinear junction capacitance using small-signal diode equations.
