Recently, an EDN reader asked “Why do oscilloscope manufacturers put amplifiers on their probe tips rather than in the oscilloscope?” Placing the amplifier in the probe minimizes signal losses in the ...

For anyone designing DC-DC converters, AC-DC power supplies, or the system around it, understanding the power supply’s operation under both the best and worst conditions is important. The load of the ...

Test probes go a long way toward ensuring accurate, repeatable test results. Here's a look at how both active and passive test probes are evolving to match today's broadening oscilloscope bandwidths.

A selection of probes, from [Jim Williams’] Linear Technology app note 72. It’s not often that we are shown an entirely new class of test equipment here at Hackaday, so it was with some surprise that ...

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 ...

Measuring dynamic currents with an oscilloscope is challenging, but this updated differential current probe makes it simple ...

Tektronix has announced a second-generation of IsoVu isolated oscilloscope probes, claiming smaller size, easier use and enhanced electrical performance. Isolated probes are for probing power systems ...

Probing solution is industry first to operate at bandwidths greater than 50 GHz with high-impedance probe head High-impedance, turnkey solution delivers bandwidths up to 52 GHz Brickwall and 40 GHz ...

Micsig Technology is aiming at mains and high-voltage GaN power supply development with a series of optical fibre isolated oscilloscope probes, with bandwidths up to 1GHz and risetimes down to ≤350ps.
