Explore the Tektronix RTPA2A Real-Time Probe Adapter
Enhance your debugging capabilities with the Tektronix RTPA2A Real-Time Probe Adapter, designed specifically to extend the functionality of Realtime Spectrum Analyzers (RTSA). With this sophisticated tool, design engineers can leverage industry-leading Tektronix active and differential probes to effectively measure signals on SMD pins and navigate other challenging circuit features with ease.
The Tektronix RTPA2A powers up to two Tektronix P7000 Series probes via an external power supply, ensuring robust performance during complex testing scenarios. The integration is seamless, facilitated by a USB cable connection that allows for automatic adjustments in the scale factor to accommodate the probe's attenuation factor on channel A. Additionally, an included SMA-to-N cable guarantees that high-speed RF signals can transfer between the RTPA2A and the RTSA efficiently.
