Can I use a 1-MW input on the oscilloscope with the Model 162X nanosecond detector and the Model 203X large-area receiver?
Yes, you can use this input for both the Model 1621(max speed 1 GHz) and the Model 2031 (max speed 1 MHz). Keep in mind, however, that with a faster input signal (on the order of tens of nanoseconds), the impedance mismatch may cause some additional ringing or a very minor loss in signal strength for the Model 1621. For a low-frequency measurement (1 MHz or less), either of these units will work fine with a 1-MW input impedance oscilloscope. For signals faster than 1 to 10 MHz, it is most efficient to impedance match the output of the Model 162X with the oscilloscope and cable (50 W). This results in minimal distortion of your input signal and maximum efficiency.
