Rohde & Schwarz has introduced two probes that tap into new field of applications. Model RT-ZS60 is the first compact, ground-referenced 6 GHz probe on the market and is suitable for test applications required ground-referenced measurements of signal integrity. The probe scores top marks with its extremely low loading of the test point (1 M Ohm, 0.3 pF) for both DC as well as high frequencies in addition to its minimal noise (2 mV RMS) and high linearity (70 dB THD). The frequency-independent and high dynamic range of +/- 8 V also makes it possible to perform measurements on very fast signals with large amplitudes. In addition, the probe can be used with the optional R&S RT-ZA9 adapter on Rohde & Schwarz signal and spectrum analyzers.
For automotive, power or medical applications, model RT-ZD01 is an active differential high-voltage probe that provides the ideal dynamic range with its maximum measurement voltage of 1 kV (RMS). The certification for the CAT III safety rating allows measurements all the way to the building installation. For measurements on differential signals, the R&S RT-ZD01 offers extremely high precision thanks to its outstanding common mode rejection ratio of –80 dB. Just like all Rohde & Schwarz probes, this model also ensures very low loading of the test point.
