Publication number: 20090195328Abstract: Provided is a delay line that prevents reflection signals output from a test signal generator from being superimposed as noise. The delay line delays an electrical signal input into a signal line and outputs the thus delayed signal, and includes three or more passive elements that are provided on the signal line and delay the signal. Each section of the signal line between pairs of adjacent passive elements has a different electrical length. The reflection signals reflected by the passive elements are superimposed on each other at different phases. It is desirable that the reflection signals reflected by adjacent passive elements differ by 180 degrees.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2008Publication date: August 6, 2009Applicant: ADVANTEST CORPORATIONInventor: Kiyoto NAKAMURA
