Keysight (Agilent) 1155A Low Mass Active Probe 2-Channel, 750 MHz

The Keysight (Agilent) 1155A is a 2-channel active oscilloscope probe designed for high-fidelity signal acquisition on fine-pitch integrated circuits and surface-mount components. Its ultra-low probe tip mass—less than 1 gram—minimizes loading effects on sensitive circuits, while FET amplification delivers 750 MHz bandwidth with minimal insertion loss. The 10:1 attenuation ratio, combined with 1 MΩ input resistance and <2 pF input capacitance, ensures exceptional circuit transparency across a wide frequency spectrum. Rise time is ≤470 ps (probe alone), with bandwidth degradation of approximately 0.5% per °C above 35 °C.

Autoprobe interface integration enables automatic oscilloscope configuration, eliminating manual probe setup. The probe operates reliably from 0 °C to +55 °C and withstands up to 95% relative humidity (noncondensing) at +40 °C. Environmental robustness includes operating altitude to 4,600 m and vibration immunity rated at 0.3 grms across 5–500 Hz.

– Compatibility & Integration

The 1155A operates with Keysight Infiniium oscilloscopes from the 54800, 8000, 80000, 9000, and 90000 Series. It is not compatible with InfiniiVision 5000, 6000, or 7000 Series; the 1145A active probe with BNC interface and 1142A power supply are recommended alternatives for those platforms.
