Operating the E5404A-Pro Series Probes
Equivalent Probe Loads
The following probe load models are based on in- circuit
measurements made with an Agilent 8753E 6 GHz network
analyzer and an Agilent 54750A TDR/TDT using a 50
Ω
test
fixture. The following schematic accurately models the probe
load out to 6 GHz. The figure on the following page shows
the agreement between measured impedance and this model.
