What it is
How it works
The Tektronix 454 uses distributed deflection elements to achieve high bandwidth. The Tektronix 454 uses T-coil peaking in its output amplifier to extend frequency response. The Tektronix 454 also uses T-coils for input delay line differential phase compensation.[1]
Applications
The Tektronix 454 was a general-purpose oscilloscope used in electronics laboratories, service centers, and educational institutions.[2]
