This paper presents the qualification of a transient recorder used in a system for traceable measurements of Very Fast Transients. The system is designed for traceable measurements of VFT up to 100 kV, having a target settling time < 10 ns, a peak voltage error < 1\%, and a front time error < 5\%. The rise time of the digitizer is 1.6 ns at 50Ω and 1.2 ns at 1 MΩ. Step responses show settling times of 4.5 ns. A convolution method gives a peak voltage error of 0.12% and a front time error of 4.1% for 4.5ns front times. © 2018 IEEE.
