Product Description

R&S

RT-ZZ80

User Manual 1409.7689.02 ─ 02

The R&S

RT-ZZ80 has a standard SMA connector. For BNC input terminals the

BNC to SMA adapter R&S

RT-ZA10 is delivered with the probe. Thus the probe

can be connected to any Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscope and to most other high-
frequency measuring instruments.

The key characteristics of the probe are the following:

Bandwidth

DC to 8 GHz

Maximum input voltage

20 V (RMS)

Input resistance

500

Ω

Input capacitance

0.3 pF

Full dynamic range over the entire frequency range

No harmonic distortions

Negligible noise contribution

Standard SMA connector

1.3
