Agilent has oscilloscopes to 63 GHz /160GS/s. How is that possible?

According to the manual they use custom indium phosphide ICs on the input - seems to be the
fastest semiconductor substrate material available (although it seems the actual devices are
built out of InGaAs built onto an InP surface).

InP technology is touted as being able to reach THz speeds BTW. Its also the most brittle
semiconductor - don't drop that 'scope!
