Agilent Technologies has introduced the N2870A family of miniature passive oscilloscope probes and accessories with bandwidths from dc to 1.5 GHz. The probes’ 2.5-mm-diameter heads cover only ...

When designing space electronics, particularly during the early prototyping stage or if qualification or flight hardware doesn’t function as intended, the humble oscilloscope is often used to verify ...

For decades, the venerable 10:1 passive scope probe has connected innumerable signals and scopes to each other. And, when neither the probe’s nor the scope’s performance limitations are exceeded, the ...

Remember fundamentals and practice situational awareness in taking measurements. It’s not only using the right probe, but it’s also using the probe right. Eliminating measurement artifacts is tricky, ...

When you think of a scope probe, you usually think of what is basically a wire with a spring hook and an attenuator. Those are passive probes. [Kerry Wong] shows off a pre-release active probe that ...
