NIM Model LG101 Linear Gate Module
1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The LG101 LINEAR GATE Module (Fig. 1) will inhibit or linearly pass
+1.0 to -1.0 volt signals in response to a logic signal. A constant
50-ohm termination is presented to the signal to be gated, and the
signal will not feed through a closed gate. The LG101 is completely
direct-coupled, and is thus free from rate effects. The input is
protected from damage by large signals, and the circuit recovers
quickly from overload.
