Key Features and Key Characteristics
The R&S
RT-ZPR20/40 power-rail probe is designed for power integrity measure-
ments. The R&S
RT-ZPR20/40 is specifically built to measure small signals in the
millivolt range with very large DC-offset components up to
±
60
V. It is thus per-
fectly suited to measure small perturbations on DC power rails.
The probe consists of a probe box with an SMA connector and various accesso-
ries for different applications.
Since the probe is equipped with the Rohde
&
Schwarz probe interface, it can be
connected to any Rohde
&
Schwarz base unit that is compatible with this inter-
face and has the required firmware. When connected to the front panel of a sup-
ported Rohde
&
Schwarz oscilloscope, the probe is controlled via the software
dialog of the oscilloscope. For a list of compatible base units, see the data sheet
of the probe.
The key characteristics of the probe are the following:
