Active broadband
probes
Designed for high bandwidths
High-bandwidth probes are only possible through the
use of application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC).
Rohde & Schwarz designs these ASICs with particular at-
tention to performance. Low noise, high DC accuracy and
minimal drift versus temperature and time are the result.
Individual laser trimming of the probes during production
results in particularly high accuracy and a very flat fre-
quency response. The design of the contact accessories
also permits a high measurement bandwidth for various
contacting methods, including manual contacting, solder-
in and plug-in connections. The compact probe head al-
lows measurements even on densely populated printed
boards, and the low weight ensures a minimal load at the
contact point.
Minimal influence on the measurement signal
When measuring the high-speed signals used in modern
electronic designs, the load from the probe must be kept
low. Rohde & Schwarz active probes meet this requirement
with 1MΩ input impedance and an input capacitance of
<1pF. As a result, the probe's influence on the circuit dur-
ing measurement is minimized. The optimized design of
the probe tips and accessories ensures accurate rise times
and minimizes overshoot and ringing.

Rohde & Schwarz active broadband probes with a variety of heads to match the application (e.g. R&S®RT-ZS60/-ZD40: special head design for particularly
low input capacitance)
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.
