Tektronix P7380A
The Tektronix P7380A represents the pinnacle of signal fidelity and performance in the realm of active probes. Built upon advanced Z-Active probe architecture, this innovative device sets a new standard by preserving high bandwidth while ensuring improved connectivity with minimal loading and noise interference.
Designed with a unique hybrid architecture, the P7380A employs a distributed attenuator topology that channels signals through an active probe amplifier. The integrated passive probe tip element operates independently from the amplifier, allowing for greater reach without compromising signal integrity. Unlike traditional active probes, this design maintains high DC input resistance while offering superior AC impedance, ensuring stable high-frequency loading.
