Differential SMA Probe to 8 GHz

Differential SMA probes are designed for measuring differential signals in a 50 ohms signaling environment, providing the ability to convert from a differential SMA signal path to a single oscilloscope input channel.

The Tektronix Differential SMA Probes provide the ability to measure a high-speed differential signal on each channel of a multiple-channel oscilloscope. The right oscilloscope can simultaneously acquire up to four high-speed differential signals with the use of four differential SMA probes. As an added benefit, the SMA inputs on the probes connect to high-quality 50 ohms terminations that offer industry-leading return loss.
