Abstract
It is shown that the limited bandwidth of oscilloscopes significantly affects the measurement of picosecond voltage pulses generated with ultrafast semiconductor switches. The conductance of the devices is described by a simple model, which allow interpreting the actual time evolution of the voltage pulses.Keywords
