Differential probe boasts 500MHz
bandwidth
A novel differential probe can transform a single-ended oscilloscope input into a balanced differential input with a bandwidth of 500MHz and very high common-mode rejection.
The new 701920 differential probe from Yokogawa Martron is capable of transforming a single-ended oscilloscope input into a balanced differential input with a bandwidth of 500MHz and very high common-mode rejection (typical CMPR is 60dB) The probe is designed to overcome the limitations of traditional single-ended inputs in accurately capturing high-speed signals at low power-supply voltages, particularly when isolated probing is required to capture noise-resistant differential signals in leading-edge designs

Versatile tester for IEEE-1394 bus
The new FireWorks 1394 VK9000 from Yokogawa Martron is designed to provide engineers with a powerful 'out of the box' solution for testing systems based on the IEEE-1394 bus.
A differential probe is also particularly useful when creating a trigger which cannot usually be generated from a calculated signal in single-ended oscilloscopes.
The probe is powered with a +/-12V signal, which can be supplied independently but is available as standard on the latest oscilloscopes in the Yokogawa range.
The 701920 has a frequency bandwidth of DC-500MHz, an input reactance of 100kW and an input capacitance of 2.5pF (both relative to ground).
External dimensions are only 111 x 22 x 14 mm.
A wide range of probe tips is available.
