ACCESSORIES
External patch cables that interface the user system with the SMB connector can be made by
the user. Saker recommends the use of good quality SMB connectors, for example reference
R114082000 from Radiall. Please read the accessories PDF to find more about these. The
unterminated SMB cable leaves freedom of choice for the user to make additional
terminations. In most measurement cases a typical straight 2,54mm 2 pin header installed in
the board will make for a good enough connection
COMPATIBILITY
The XFVP probe requires an external oscilloscope with internal 50 termination. The
termination is needed to provide appropriate high-frequency transmission of the signal. If the
oscilloscope does not have internal 50 termination, an optional BNC terminator (code
XFVPTERM) can be supplied. If the probe does not see a 50 termination it will not calibrate
properly.
The bandwidth of the oscilloscope is not critical, although the higher the bandwidth the better,
since modern digital scope do have a useful Hi-Res mode that can lower the measurement
noise substantially. (Read the document “
XFVP Probe Measurements Guide
”). The same can be
said about the scope ADC resolution.
