Our story

"The Measurement Guys," since 1964.

Six decades of designing and building the pulse-power test instrumentation the most demanding labs depend on.

Barth Electronics, Inc. is a high-technology company specializing in designing and manufacturing state-of-the-art, sub-nanosecond, high-energy pulse-power instrumentation, and has done so since 1964.

Originating in Ohio and moving to Boulder City, Nevada in 1976 during the days of weapons testing at the Nevada Test Site, Barth designed and manufactured very special test hardware for EG&G in Las Vegas and the National Laboratories. That work demanded measurement at the very fast edge, where conventional instruments simply could not keep up.

In 1997, Barth test-equipment engineers developed the first commercial Transmission Line Pulser (TLP) for the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) industry, using unique technology developed for high-speed, high-voltage test equipment. That same pulse-power expertise lives in every terminator, attenuator, probe, and power divider we build today.
