Selecting the right probe The first step in selecting the right probe is to analyze the measurement task. Is a single-ended or a differential measurement needed? Which maximum frequency components need to be transferred? What is the maximum input voltage that can occur? Differential or single-ended measurement Differential probes make measurements possible when neither of the two test points is connected to ground.
To accurately measure steep, large-amplitude slopes, a sufficiently wide dynamic range must be available at high frequencies. When measuring the residual ripple of DC switching power supplies, very small signals with a large DC component must also be measured. To make the full A/D converter resolution available, modern probes have the option to feed in a DC offset. Expanded functions and probe accessories In the case of high voltage probes, operator safety is a key consideration.

Passive probes Universal application Passive probes are standard accessories for Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscopes. They are low-cost, general purpose probing solutions for a broad range of applications. Rohde & Schwarz passive probes are the all-rounders in the world of probes. They are low-cost, general purpose probing solutions for a broad range of applications. The BNC connector allows them to be used on almost any oscilloscope.
Individual adjustment for precise measurements Extensive accessories In order to achieve optimum measurement accuracy, passive probes with a probe bandwidth larger than 350 MHz must be adjusted to the input impedance of the oscilloscope. Rohde & Schwarz offers the R&S®RTM-ZP10 and the R&S®RT-ZP10 500 MHz passive probes, which are preadjusted for the R&S®RTM and the R&S®RTP/RTO/RTE/RTA oscilloscopes, respectively.
Passive broadband probes Low noise, high linearity and a purely passive implementation make passive broadband probes an economical solution for measuring controlled impedance lines. The compact design facilitates measurements on densely packed printed boards. Economical alternative for measurements on controlled impedance lines Passive broadband probes are an economical, yet powerful alternative to active probes for measuring high-speed signals on low impedance lines.
Maximum bandwidth through customized accessories Input impedance versus frequency 1 MΩ ¸RT-ZS30 ¸RT-ZS60 ¸RT-ZZ80 100 kΩ |Input impedance| The maximum probe bandwidth is typically defined by the accessories that are used. Rohde & Schwarz supplies accessories tailored to both the probe and the application to ensure that the maximum bandwidth is available for various contacting methods.
Active broadband probes Rohde & Schwarz offers an extensive range of active broadband probes with high input impedance of 1 MΩ, low input capacitance of < 1 pF and a wide dynamic range. Useful supplemental functions, such as offset compensation in the probe, an integrated, high-precision voltmeter and a micro button for convenient control of the oscilloscope, set these probes apart.
Wide dynamic range and high linearity – perfect for spectrum analysis R&S®ProbeMeter: integrated, high-precision voltmeter All Rohde & Schwarz active broadband probes exhibit a wide dynamic range, which is also available at high frequencies. This means that even very fast signals and steep, high-amplitude pulse slopes can be measured.
Single-ended broadband probes A particularly wide dynamic range, exceptionally low offset and gain errors and the right accessories make these probes the ideal accessory for Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscopes. High signal fidelity with active probes Single-ended active probes are used to accurately measure ground-referenced signals. They precisely measure both high-speed and low-frequency signals for which it is critical that the probe impedance places only a minimal load on the test point.
Exceptionally low offset and gain errors, minimal temperature drift Accessories for high signal fidelity Rohde & Schwarz single-ended active probes are characterized by impressively low offset and gain errors. The minimal gain drift coupled with the offset compensation permits precise measurements – even over extended periods of time and at varying temperatures. Frequent compensation during the measurement is no longer necessary, simplifying everyday measurement tasks.
Differential broadband probes A flat frequency response and a high input impedance with low input capacitance permit precise measurements on differential signals while keeping the loading on the DUT low. The high common mode rejection over the entire probe bandwidth ensures high immunity to interference. Special browser adapters allow flexible contacting with high signal fidelity.

Power rail probe High bandwidth, high sensitivity, very low noise and an extra-large offset compensation make the R&S®RT-ZPR power rail probes an excellent tool for characterizing power rails. An integrated highaccuracy DC voltmeter provides instantaneous DC voltage readout. Up to 4.0 GHz bandwidth and very low added noise Low voltages with tight tolerances make testing power rails difficult.
Measuring small voltages riding on large DC offsets R&S®ProbeMeter – integrated high-accuracy DC voltmeter The oscilloscopes' built-in offset is typically not sufficient to zoom in and to accurately measure peak-to-peak voltage on DC power rails. This makes accurate ripple measurements impossible. With ±60 V offset compensation range, the R&S®RT-ZPR power rail probes allow users to zoom in on DC voltages with high offset.
Multi-channel power probe Power consumption is a major concern in the internet of things (IoT) world and for a lot of consumer electronics devices. The R&S®RT-ZVC multi-channel power probe offers up to four voltage and four current channels with 18-bit resolution for high dynamic range current and voltage measurements.
High bandwidth with flexible filtering for noise reduction Measure up to eight power rails at the same time with highest accuracy A bandwidth of 1 MHz and a sampling rate of 5 Msample/s allows you to capture fast current pulses. To analyze the overall power consumption of battery powered devices, the very low sleep mode currents have to be captured at the same time.
Very low-noise frontend for measuring sensor signals The extraordinarily high dynamic range and low-noise design of the R&S®RT-ZVC probe enables clear measurement of small sensor signals. Maximum sensitivity can be achieved by using the current inputs in external shunt mode which results in 18-bit resolution at 45 mV full-scale differential input voltage. A cardiac voltage pulse with a signal level of only 200 µV (peak-to-peak) can easily be captured and analyzed.

High voltage probes The Rohde & Schwarz portfolio of high voltage probes includes passive single-ended and active differential probes for voltages up to 6000 V (peak). Different models allow measurements up to CAT IV environments. Differential probes provide an exceptional common mode rejection ratio over a broad frequency range.
Up to 2000 V offset capability at highest vertical sensitivity Easy to use and fully integrated into the Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscopes To measure ripple voltages on the DC link, it is necessary to compensate for high offset voltages and measure with high vertical sensitivities. Due to its integrated offset circuit, the R&S®RT-ZHD probes offer an offset voltage range that is independent of the vertical setting of the oscilloscope and the attenuation factor on the probe.

Measuring voltages up to 1000 V (RMS) with 500 MHz bandwidth Measuring in high voltage environments requires special safety precautions in line with the European Low Voltage Directive that depend on the actual measurement environment. The R&S®Scope Rider RTH lets you safely measure voltages up to 1000 V in CAT III environments or 600 V in CAT IV environments. In combination with the R&S®RT-ZI11 100:1 passive high voltage probe, a bandwidth of 500 MHz is achieved.
Current probes Rohde & Schwarz current probes enable accurate, non-intrusive measurement of DC and AC currents. Different models are available to measure currents in the range of 1 mA to 2000 A with a maximum bandwidth of up to 120 MHz. DC and AC measurements without circuit interruption The R&S®RT-ZC current probes precisely measure direct and alternating current without interrupting the power circuit for the measurement.
Easy deskewing for simultaneous current and voltage measurements For meaningful measurements on power electronics, there must be no time delay (skew) between the current and the voltage measurements. The R&S®RT-ZF20 power deskew and calibration test fixture provides a variety of test signals that can be used to easily compensate for skew between Rohde & Schwarz current and voltage probes. Power to the power deskew and calibration test fixture is supplied via the oscilloscope's USB port.
EMC near-field probes Powerful E and H near-field probes for the frequency range from 9 kHz to 3 GHz with optional preamplifier expand the application range of the R&S®RTO oscilloscopes to include EMI debugging. R&S®RTO oscilloscope's powerful FFT analysis function The R&S®RTO oscilloscope's powerful FFT function permits for the first time debugging of EMI problems using an oscilloscope. Developers now have a cost-effective solution for EMI debugging right on their lab bench.
