Active Probe for TEKPROBE BNC Interface

TDS3000B Series Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes Adapt to Wide-Ranging Video Measurement Needs
A Tell-All Tool for Video Troubleshooting:
Many video engineers have remained loyal to analog oscilloscopes, believing the gradations on an analog display are the only way to see certain video waveform details. The TDS3000B has the same information-rich display as an analog oscilloscope, but with much more detail. Tektronix DPO technology provides a live display that captures anomalies while providing the intensity-graded vision you need to interpret the waveform. Both patterns and one-time events are easy to see and understand. With up to 500 MHz bandwidth and four inputs, the TDS3000B family provides ample performance for analog and digital video use. The TDS3000B is compact and light enough to meet field requirements as well as design and evaluation needs on the engineering bench. Two optional video modules add easy-to-use, video-specific measurement and display tools to the TDS3000B DPO series.
Introduction:
Active voltage probes provide digital phosphor oscilloscopes and other instrumentation the ability to faithfully acquire real time signal information from today's high-speed designs. Active probes provide a wide signal acquisition bandwidth and ensure reduced device under test (DUT) loading. An active probe is the best choice when your application involves high impedance, high frequency circuit elements that demand minimal loading.
FET Probes include active components (field effect transistors or other active devices) rather than passive components. The FET input results in a higher input impedance without loss of signal, i.e. low input capacitance (typically <0.4 pF to <2.0 pF) and high input resistance values (typically > 100 kΩ). Some FET probes include an offset control that allows a substantial increase in the active probe's linear dynamic range. Since FET probes have a 50 Ω output impedance, they can drive a 50 Ω cable. This capability allows the distance from the probe tip to the instrument to be increased within the practical limits of the probe amplifier system and the limitations of the coaxial cable.
