"ringing" noise on HP54602A scope

Nov 29, 2005 1 Replies

Hello,



When I have a pulse generator into channel 1 thru a 50-ohm feedthru I see a damped ringing on channel 2 (1/delta-t ~190 MHz) even though I don't have anything hooked up on channel 2. When I hook up a PMT to channel 2 thru a 50-ohm feedthru any response from the PMT is obscured by the ringing. Actually, with just a 1.5 ft SMA to BNC cable (DC-3GHz, 30pF/ft) connected to channel 2, the amplitude of the ringing about doubles. Is something wrong with my scope or is it something else?



Thanks, Tony



Sounds broken to me. You say "amplitude". You don't actually say how big any of these signals are - but I suppose if you can see them, than they're too big.
