Hello Jim,

depending on your application, you may want to have a look at Minicircuits (at 
their site look for "Filters" rather than "Rise Time Converters"). While 
Picosecond Pulse Labs is IMHO the cream of the crop in terms of time-domain 
performance, you pay for what you get (= a lot!). Minicircuits is more geared 
towards RF/Microwave rather than digital, but up to a few GHz / Gbits/sec I 
found their products to be very usable for digital for a fraction fo the cost; 
which is a big issue if you need many pieces for your setup, or need to 
duplicate your setup several times. In any case, for time domain applications 
(as rise time converters) you need to go for low-pass Bessel or Gaussian 
filters (not Chebycheff or Butterworth, which have significant overshoot and 
ringing); Minicircuits has a category called "low pass, flat time delay".

For lower frequency ranges (a few 100 MHz LPF bandwidth limit) TTE 
(www.tte.com) may be interesting as well. Last time I checked they offered 
Bessel and Gaussian LPFs up to 200 MHz cutoff.

Hello,

In addition to the units from Agilent, Marki and Picosecond Pulse Labs, do you 
know
of any other (SMA based) Risetime filters (AKA Low Pass Filter, Transition Time 
Converter)?

Thx,
Jim
