Transmission Line Probes Solve Loading/Cable & Load Step Issues

Picotest’s 1 and 2 Port 50 ohm transmission line probes are now available. These precision 1x probes support a variety of measurements including impedance (1 Port Reflection and 2 Port Series and Shunt thru), step-load, ripple, noise TDT/TDR, PCB resonances, clock jitter and non-invasive stability. They have some significant advantages over active probes and other types of passive probes.

  • Supports Measuring Impedance, Step-Load, Ripple, Noise TDT/TDR, 2 port impedance, PCB resonances, Clock Jitter and Non-invasive Stability
  • 1x for optimum in sensitivity and SNR
  • Virtually no circuit loading (< 0.2pf)
  • Single (1 Port) or Dual (2 Ports) – 50 ohm impedance
  • Includes DC Blocker 500Hz – 8GHz
  • Wide Bandwidth –1GHz+
  • Supports Non-Invasive Stability Measurement
  • Infinitely Variable-pitch probe tip
  • Full complement of accessories
  • No cable soldering – Eliminates copper pads damage
  • Small Form Factor gets into tight places
  • Slim body provides good visibility of the target
