5-Ghz Operation of the ITT and RCA Streak Tubes with a 7.5-Ns Time Window

摘要

Two streak cameras, one based on the ITT F4157 streak tube and one based on the RCA C73435 image converter tube have been operated at 5-GHz with twelve input channels and a time window of 7.5 ns. Under the operating conditions used to achieve this performance, the two cameras exhibit similar characteristics. Indeed, the tubes can be substituted for each other with minor mechanical modifications to the camera body. 4 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab. (ERA citation 13:012394)
