Model BH-1 Tail Pulse Generator

Product catalog summary

General Overview: The BH-1 model by Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation is a tail pulse generator designed to simulate a wide range of pulses typically encountered in the nuclear field. It is used for applications such as timing linear gates, measuring amplifier linearity, setting discriminator thresholds, and evaluating preamplifier resolution.

Specifications:

Frequency Range: 10 Hz to 1 MHz, continuously adjustable.
External Trigger: Requires a 1-volt positive pulse.
Single Cycle Operation: One pulse per button press.
Single/Double Pulse: Toggle for pulse pairs with adjustable separation, minimum 50 ns.
Rise Time: 20 ns to 50 us in 11 steps, exponential shape.
Decay Time Constant: 50 ns to 1000 us in 11 steps, exponential shape.
Trigger Out: Positive 3-volt pulse, 10 ns rise time, 0.2 us width.
Delay: -50 ns to 10 ms between Trigger Out and output pulse leading edge.
Output Amplitude: 0 to 9.99 volts, adjustable by potentiometer.
Attenuator: X10 and X100, up to 1000:1.
Integral Linearity: ±0.1%.
Duty Factor Effect: Amplitude shift less than 0.1% below 30% duty factor.
Output Polarity: Positive or negative.
Output Impedance: 50 ohms.
External Reference Input: ±15 volts max.
Jitter: Frequency and delay jitter less than 0.1%.
Temperature Coefficient: Less than 0.03%/°C.
Amplitude Jitter: Less than 0.01% peak, 0.002% rms.
Power Requirements: +24 V at 50 mA, -24 V at 50 mA, +12 V at 175 mA, -12 V at 80 mA.
Mechanical Dimensions: Double-width AEC module, 2.70 inches wide by 8.70 inches high.
