Agilent / HP 54701A 2.5 GHz Active Probe

Agilent / HP 54701A,This active probe is engineered for high-speed signal measurement in digital and RF circuits, supporting up to 2.5 GHz bandwidth. Designed for use with compatible high-performance oscilloscopes, it delivers fast rise times and low capacitive loading, preserving signal fidelity during probing. The low input capacitance and high input resistance make it ideal for analyzing high-speed logic transitions and analog waveforms without distorting the signal under test. Featuring a slim, ergonomic design with flexible ground leads and various tip accessories, it provides accessibility to densely packed circuit boards. The probe includes an active buffer amplifier that ensures minimal signal degradation over the cable length, providing accurate signal representation at the oscilloscope input. A precision impedance-matching circuit within the probe head enhances signal transmission for cleaner measurements. It is especially effective in analyzing signal integrity in high-frequency clock, data, and control lines. Its wide dynamic range and minimal overshoot performance make it suitable for timing analysis, voltage margin testing, and compliance validation. Rugged construction ensures reliability in both R&D and production environments. The probe is a valuable tool for electronics engineers requiring repeatable, high-bandwidth, low-intrusion measurements in advanced system design and verification tasks.
