Probe selection guide

Active porbes - low voltage single ended

Upgrade to an active single-ended probe for more accurate higher frequency measurements. An amplifier built into the probe near the tip ensures low capacitive loading.

Rohde & Schwarz low active single-ended probe solutions offer:

• Low capacitive loading minimizes loading influence at higher frequencies
• Integrated R&S^®ProbeMeter provides DC level with very high accuracy
• Built-in offset compensation enables higher vertical sensitivity

Power rail probes

Use a power rail probe to measure small AC characteristics of DC signals. These probes have a large built-in offset, 1:1 low-noise attenuation and excellent DC loading.

Key specs:

• Accurately measure your power rail with a low-noise 1:1 probe attenuation factor
• High offset enables use of small vertical settings
• Integrated R&S^®ProbeMeter accurately measures the DC voltage

Active differential probes

Use differential probes to measure single-ended signals (signal to ground) and differential signals (plus versus minus).

Rohde & Schwarz low active differential probe solutions offer:

• Confidently capture differential signals
• High common mode rejection ratio ensures accuracy with large common mode changes
• Signals under test retain high fidelity with thanks to capacitive probe loading

Current probes

Choose a clamp-on current probe for non-intrusive current measurements. These probes have a negligible effect on the device under test and come in models with varying current and bandwidth ratings.

Rohde & Schwarz current probe solutions offer:

• Quickly measure small to large currents without disturbing your device
• Measure low to high frequency (> 100 MHz) current bandwidth
• Easily connect and power the probe with the Rohde & Schwarz probe interface on the oscilloscope

High voltage probes

Safety is a key consideration when measuring high voltages. High voltage differential probes with the appropriate CAT rating ensure that large voltage spikes cannot harm the operator.

Rohde & Schwarz high voltage differential probe solutions offer:

• Measure fast-switching semiconductors up to 200 MHz
• Large offset compensation range up to 2000 V enable higher resolution
• High common mode rejection ratio enables accurate gatesource voltage measurements
