Z-Active ™ Probing Architecture Leads the Way for High-speed
Probing Applications
Tektronix has created a revolutionary
Z-Active probe architecture that sets
the industry benchmark for signal fidelity.
Tektronix active probe architecture pre-
serves high bandwidth while 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.
The Z-Active probes use a tiny passive
probe tip element that is separate from
the amplifier, extending the usable reach
of the probe. In traditional active probes,
adding this much length can introduce
signal fidelity problems. However, this
architecture maintains high DC input
resistance and presents a higher AC
impedance than previous probe architec-
tures. It accomplishes this while providing
significant length between the probe body
and the probe attachment point to the
DUT. This architecture provides the best
of both worlds: high DC impedance like
existing active probes and the stable high
frequency loading of Z
0
probes.
Signal Fidelity
You can be confident in the signal fidelity
of your measurements because the
Z-Active architecture provides:
High bandwidth
Excellent step response
Low loading
High CMRR
