The S-52 generates the main output pulse using a 50 mA low-capacitance tunnel diode with part number 153-0400-00. The S-52 is similar to the S-50, but the S-50 has twice the pulse amplitude. The reason for this is that the S-52 has a 48 Ω resistor between the output tunnel diode and the output connector providing back termination, while the S-50 has no such resistor. Although the S-52 produces a smaller pulse, its output impedance is much better controlled than that of the S-50, and the output resistor may also provide some limited protection for the output tunnel diode.

Operating power for the S-52 is obtained when the unit is installed into the sampling head compartment (or connected via an interconnecting cable) of Tektronix sampling instruments such as the 7S12, 7S11, Types 3S2, 3S5, or 3S6. The S-52 can also be powered from the Type 285 Power Supply.
