Passive integrators are often used for B-dot and E-dot probes where the signal you want to see is the integral of the probe signal. | |
Integrators come in a range of RC times, which you usually pick to be ~10X the width of the signal you are interested in. For a signal that is a square pulse after integrating, the flat top will have a droop that drops ~10% in this case (worst case). | |
There are two main varieties of integrators: 50 Ohm and high impedance. |
