NIST-NPL interlaboratory pulse measurement comparison

A comparison of the pulse parameter values obtained from the pulse measurement services of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA, and the National Physical Laboratory, U.K., was performed. The comparison was based on the pulse parameters of amplitude, transition duration, overshoot, and undershoot (preshoot). The parameter comparison was applied to raw (measured) waveforms, corrected waveforms (if applicable), and reconstructed waveforms. The results of the comparison show that the pulse parameter values for both national laboratories are within published uncertainties.
