Abstract

With the advent of television and radar during the Second World War, the behavior of wideband amplifiers in the time domain has become very important [Ref. 1.1]. In today’s digital world this is even more the case. It is a paradox that designers and troubleshooters of digital equipment still depend on oscilloscopes, which — at least in their fast and low level input part — consist of analog wideband amplifiers. So the calculation of the time domain response of wideband amplifiers has become even more important than the frequency, phase, and time delay response.
