The Agilent/Keysight U1818B is an active differential probe engineered for high-frequency in-circuit measurements across RF and microwave applications. It delivers precise signal acquisition when paired with network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and signal source analyzers. The probe supports both single-ended and differential signal measurement, enabling non-invasive probing of RF traces without component removal. Flexible power delivery—via instrument probe port or external benchtop supply—accommodates diverse lab environments.
