Tektronix P7380

The Tektronix P7380 is an 8 GHz Z-Active Differential Probe.

The Tektronix active probe architecture preserves high bandwidth at the same time providing improved connectivity with low loading. The Z-Active architecture is a hybrid approach composed of a distributed attenuator topology feeding an active probe amplifier. With Z-Active architecture, the P7380 will use a passive probe tip element that is separate from the amplifier, that will extend the usable reach of the probe. The P7380 architecture maintains high DC input resistance and a higher AC impedance than the previous probe architectures and still providing significant length between the probe body and the probe attachment point to the DUT. This architecture provides, high DC impedance along with the stable high frequency loading of Z0 probes.
