Agilent Technologies introduces 1.5 GHz differential probe

Agilent Technologies Inc. has introduced a 1.5 GHz differential probe that is said to offer unmatched performance at the industry's lowest price. When the Agilent InfiniiMax 1130A differential probe is paired with Agilent's Infiniium mixed signal (MSO) and digital signal oscilloscopes (DSO), the system delivers industry-leading accuracy and probing connectivity to R&D engineers in the computer, communications and semiconductor industries for validating and verifying the performance of new high-speed digital product designs."As embedded design speeds increase, oscilloscope users are migrating from 500 MHz to 1 GHz oscilloscopes but continue to use their traditional passive probes that limit system bandwidth to 600 MHz " said Ron Nersesian, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Design Validation Division. "With the introduction of our differential probe, customers are now able to realize the full system bandwidth of their 1 GHz oscilloscope and take advantage of the InfiniiMax's unsurpassed performance, accuracy and connectivity."The Agilent InfiniiMax 1130A differential probe, priced at $3,195, includes a probe amplifier and differential browser kit. The probe is available to order now, with shipments expected in February. Source: PCBnewsline
