●
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

of the
probe is inversely proportional to its bandwidth. The following approximation

In addition to bandwidth, a constant amplitude frequency response of the probe is
decisive for high signal integrity. The

ZD10/20/30 differential probe. All frequency com-
ponents are transferred with the same gain so that the input signal is displayed
without distortion.
