Thanks Mark

I must have serial number 2 of that series of IPG's. The one in the article is SN-3-75-1 and mine is SN-3-75-2.
It was probably fabricated in March 75.
I plan on visiting Redstone library to look up references 8 and 9.

You might be interested to know this was discussed in a paper by Jim
Andrews (founder of Picosecond Pulse Laboratories):

http://www.nist.gov/calibrations/upload/im-25-4.pdf

From the age of the paper, I'd say this generator is probably more than 40
years young.

Hi,

Since there is no interest in my pulse generator maybe one of you knows
someone at NBS who can provide a schematic of the generator.
It has " NBS Impulse Generator   SN 3-75-2 " engraved on the front panel
and is ~ 10 x 16 x 17.

Thanks,
Bill Reed

Hi,

Since you guys are interested in fast pule generators, I have one you may
be
interested in.
I got it in govt. auction about 25 years ago for ~ $ 50.00. I will sell it
to anyone for  $ 50.00 plus shipping.
I prefer to sell to someone who will restore and use it rather than parting
it. It has more than $ 50.00 parts in it.
There are a 30 turn 6.5 inch diameter hard line, wide band hybrid coupler,
diode assembly and several adapters and attenuators.
I believe the hard line discharges into a step diode. The power supply
includes 200 V plus other voltages.
If I remember correctly ( I have no high speed scope now ) the pulse is 2
nanoseconds wide with a 280 picosecond rise time and and 2.5 Vpp.
I checked with a 200 MHz digital scope and can see a pulse that verifies my
scopes bandwidth. The rate generator works but has problems.
See facebook (ree...@otelco.net) for pictures under Impulse.
