What does droop on a long pulse indicate?

  • A.The stage's gain is lower than designed
  • B.The coupling capacitors are too large in value
  • C.The low-frequency response falls off too early
  • D.The high-frequency response has been peaked

Answer: C

A pulse whose top sags is losing its low-frequency content, so a coupling or bypass capacitor is breaking within the pulse's own duration - the remedy is a larger capacitor, not a smaller one. Peaking shows as overshoot on the edges instead, and a low gain would reduce the amplitude without changing the shape. Reading a pulse's shape end by end tells you which end of the frequency response is at fault, which makes a square wave the most informative single test signal.
