Economical alternative for measurements on
Passive broadband
controlled impedance lines
Passive broadband probes are an economical, yet power- ful alternative to active probes for measuring high-speed probes signals on low impedance lines. In contrast to active probes, their input impedance is low but remains practi- cally constant over the entire frequency range. They fea- Low noise, high linearity and a purely passive ture an extremely low input capacitance and particularly low noise.

The compact design facilitates measurements on densely packed printed boards. The R&S®RT-ZZ80 8 GHz probe provides an attenuation factor of 10:1 at an input impedance of 500 Ω || 0.3 pF. Its SMA plug is connected to the oscilloscope via the provid- ed SMA-BNC adapter. The probe can be easily selected as a predefined probe from the R&S®RTO oscilloscope menu. And with these simple steps, the instrument is correctly configured. Passive broadband probes: powerful alternative

accessories
The maximum probe bandwidth is typically defined by the accessories that are used. Rohde & Schwarz supplies accessories tailored to both the probe and the applica- tion to ensure that the maximum bandwidth is available for various contacting methods. The extensive standard accessories for the R&S®RT-ZZ80 include solder-in pins, rigid tips, solder-in ground pins, spring-loaded ground tips and adapters for pin connectors. Because all probe tips have the same design, the R&S®RT-ZZ80 accessories are compatible with both single-ended and differential active probes (R&S®RT-ZS60 and R&S®RT-ZD40).
