Agilent 1157A Active Probe
The Agilent 1157A Active Probe is an essential tool for R&D engineers, providing the precision and performance required to probe small geometries in difficult-to-access areas of the Device Under Test (DUT). Specifically designed for compatibility with the Infiniium Series and InfiniiVision 5000, 6000, and 7000 Series oscilloscopes (excluding 6000 Series 100MHz models), this probe enhances your measurement capabilities in advanced electronic design applications.
As design speeds continue to rise, measurement challenges like overshoot, ringing, and other signal anomalies become prevalent when connecting an oscilloscope probe. The Agilent 1157A is engineered to minimize these effects. The probe forms a resonant circuit where it connects to the DUT, ensuring that any resonance remains outside the bandwidth of the probe to maintain measurement integrity.
