All About Probes and Ensuring Accurate Measurements
Power Integrity Expert and Founder of Picotest, Steve Sandler discusses the topic of probes. He explains how they work, why there are so many varieties of them, and how to ensure you get accurate measurements.
Video on Extended Range 2-Port Shunt Thru Measurement
In this video, Steve Sandler shows how to simplify one of the more complicated impedance measurements. The 2-Port shunt thru measurement is powerful and accurate down to very small impedance. Using the Bode 100 you can measure power distribution network impedance and decoupling capacitors with a very wide dynamic range.
Step Load Testing with Picotest P2102A 2-Port Probe
This video demonstrates the new Picotest P2102A 2-port ‘Browser’ probe specially designed for measuring power integrity applications including voltage regulator module (VRM) impedance and stability, power distribution network (PDN) impedance, and power supply transient response.
Picotest P2102A 2-Port Calibration with CMT VNA
This video looks at how to perform a full calibration on the Copper Mountain Compact 2-port VNA using the Picotest P2102A 2-port probe and the P2100A-CAL calibration board that comes with the probe. The Copper Mountain VNA is the ideal benchtop 2-port wide bandwidth network analyzer for power integrity type measurements.
