Description of the Probe
The probe consists of the active probe box with an Rohde
&
Schwarz probe inter-
face to connect to the oscilloscope, and an SMA connector to connect to the DUT.
Use the SMA interface to connect the supplied solder-in and extension cables or
the power rail browser.
All available accessories are documented in the following chapters.
2.3.1
Probe Box
The probe box connects the probe to the oscilloscope via the Rohde
&
Schwarz
probe interface. The Rohde
&
Schwarz probe interface contains a male precision
7
mm (276
mil) BNC connector and six pogo pin connectors. This interface pro-
vides the required supply voltage and is also used for simultaneously transmitting
analog signals and digital data. All the analog voltages required by the probe are
generated in the probe box. This approach ensures you can operate future
probes on any base unit that features a Rohde
&
Schwarz probe interface. The
probe box provides an SMA connector to screw on different accessories suitable
for various measurement tasks.
(1) Rohde
&
Schwarz probe interface with
7
mm (276
mil) coaxial connector and 6
pogo
pins
(2) Release knob
(3) SMA connector
Connect the R&S
RT-ZPR20/40 only to an instrument with Rohde
&
Schwarz
probe interface. Never connect it to a usual BNC jack. Although the 7
mm coaxial
connector looks like a standard BNC connector, it is constructed differently and
does not fit to the standard BNC jack. The interface of the R&S
RT-ZPR20/40 can
withstand a higher frequency limit.
