●
Specifies the transferable spectrum for other waveforms. E.g., with square
wave signals, the fifth harmonic should still be within the bandwidth for a high
signal integrity.
●
Determines the minimum measurable signal rise time. The rise time t
rise
of the
probe is inversely proportional to its bandwidth. The following approximation
applies:

In addition to bandwidth, a constant amplitude/frequency response of the probe is
decisive for high signal integrity. The
Figure 4-2
shows the typical amplitude/
frequency response of an R&S
RT-ZS60 active voltage probe. All frequency com-
ponents are transferred with the same gain so that the input signal is displayed
without distortion.
The

shows a typical step response of an R&S
RT-ZS60 active voltage
probe.
