Ultra-fast 100 GHz electrical sampling gates (“samplers”) with aperture widths of 7 picoseconds, and pulse generators (“pulsers”) with usable output energy extending to over 150 GHz, have both recently been demonstrated using a new, low-cost, fully monolithic “Rapid Automatic Cascode Exchange” (RACE) IC circuit architecture.1 These samplers, cast in...
