widths ranging from 1.5GHz to 16GHz. The modular
probe system also offers multimode functionality, enabling
users to switch between different measurement modes.
The integrated R&S®ProbeMeter functionality makes it
possible to perform high-precision DC voltage measure-
ments at the same time.
R&S®RT-ZM probe amplifier modules
The R&S®RT-ZM modular probe system is available with
amplifier modules offering bandwidths from 1.5GHz to
16GHz. These modules come with a Rohde & Schwarz
probe interface that allows automatic probe detection
and configuration on Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscopes. The
amplifier is equipped with a miniaturized high-quality and
high-frequency coaxial double-socket SMP connector for
flexible snap-on use with various probe tips modules (see
figure on next page).
The SMP connector on the amplifier is specially designed
for a bandwidth from DC to 26.5GHz. It offers minimum
return loss and ensures high repeatability for many con-
nect/disconnect cycles. The double-socket SMP connector
has built-in connector alignment to safeguard the connec-
tion between the probe amplifier module and the probe tip
modules to provide highly repeatable signal transmission
conditions.

Addressing high-speed probing challenges
The R&S®RT-ZM modular probe system addresses today’s
probing requirements with a technically sophisticated
yet easy-to-handle solution. The various probing solu-
tions meet the demands for high probing bandwidth and
dynamic range in conjunction with the need for low ca-
pacitive load. Examples include semi-permanent solder-in
probe tips for physically small probing areas or a solution
for environmental tests in climatic chambers at tempera-
tures from –55 °C to +125 °C.
The R&S®RT-ZM modular probe system delivers high per-
formance in combination with flexible and configurable
connectivity. The system includes probe tip modules for
various measurement tasks and conditions. These mod-
ules can be connected to amplifier modules with band-
