Tektronix paper about sampling - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

I found this reference on the Tek scope forum. It's a classic paper on sampling techniques by Jim Williams:

Some notes about how it was cleaned up for web publication:

Very few people have put this amount of time and effort into cleaning up scans for publication.

Anything by Jim Williams is worth reading. Thanks for this one Jeffrey! And I've left a grateful comment on the EDN site for the work to tidy up...

Absolutely. One of the greats who could also write well. Along with Barrie Gilbert and Bob Pease.

I don't know who wrote the superb 1968 Teledyne/Philbrick applications manual for opamps but I don't think it was any of these 3. I suppose it might have been George Philbrick himself.

Hi Jeffery, the Philbrick apps manual was a classic, do you have a copy as sadly mine was borrowed and not returned?
It may even be worth putting on our site.

I have my very own copy. Given to me by the chemistry lab tech while I was still at school.
