Oscilloscope Probes and Accessories
Choose from a broad portfolio of Tektronix probes and accessories, all perfectly matched to our industry-leading oscilloscopes. With over 100 choices available, select the probe you need for your specific testing application.
- Industry-leading bandwidth up to 20 GHz which is ideal for probing high speed serial signals like PCI Express 2.0.
- TriMode™ architecture streamlines measurement acquisition by enabling a single probe to make differential, single-ended, and common mode measurements, all with a single DUT connection point.
- Ease of use and intelligent bi-directional communications like deskew controls and load specifications between the probe and Tektronix DPO oscilloscopes.
| Probe Type | Bandwidth | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active Voltage | 750 MHz - 6 GHz | Offers broad signal bandwidth and reduced probe loading to capture single-ended, ground referenced signals. Best choice for small geometry applications that would be seriously loaded by passive probing solutions. | |
| Current | DC - 2 GHz | Widest selection of high-performance current probes available. Tektronix current measurement systems provide programmable and manual simultaneous AC/DC measurements, bandwidth from DC to 2 GHz, and amplitude measurements from mAs to 20,000 A. | |
| Differential | 1 MHz - 20 GHz | View complementary (differential) signal pair using a single channel. While a matched pair of single-ended probes may be used to make a differential measurement, a true differential probe typically gives higher performance, providing high CMRR, broad frequency range, and minimal time skew between inputs. | |
| High Voltage | 25 MHz - 1 GHz | Extends the ability to safely and accurately capture real-time signal information from "elevated" or "floating" voltage systems. Solutions available for single-ended, differential or isolated measurements. | |
| Low Capacitance | 3 GHz - 9 GHz | Minimizes DUT loading for a more accurate characterization of how your device is performing with or without the measurement system. | |
| Optical | 250 MHz - 1.25 GHz | Optical-to-electric converters specifically designed for seamless operation with an oscilloscope. Commonly used to test and characterize a wide range of optical communication standards (SONET/SDH and Fibre Channel). | |
| Passive Voltage | 15 MHz - 500 MHz | Most common, general purpose probe type. Designed for cost efficiency and to be mechanically robust; offer a wide dynamic range and large input resistance. | |
| Logic Analyzer | Supports a wide range of state speeds |
Verify and debug today's high speed, low voltage digital signals with a broad range of Logic Analyzer probes and connectivity solutions for your specific board or chip configuration. |
