HP 1152A 2.5 GHz Active Probe for Infinium Oscilloscopes

[ Summary ][ Key Literature ][ Ordering ][ Assistance ][ Related ]
Nonintrusive, reliable probing provides faithful reproduction of signals

The HP 1152A's bandwidth, superior accuracy, and reliability make it an ideal companion for the HP 54845A 1.5 GHz bandwidth oscilloscope.

The low input capacitance of the active probe eliminates distortion caused by excessive loading. As frequency increases, probe tip capacitance decreases the impedance of the probe by Xc=1/(2pifC), resulting in measurement error, depending on the source impedance of the output device. The HP 1152's low tip capacitance becomes a distinct advantage as frequency increases.

Faithful Reproduction


The HP 1152A active probe offers digital designers 2.5 GHz of bandwidth for extending measurement response, along with 140-ps rise time for accurate measurement of fast signals. Adding 1% long-term flatness, and +/-0.5% dc gain accuracy, results in a clearer representation of the input signal than ever before possible.

Superior Reliability


The HP 1152A's microcircuits are protected by their ability to withstand damage from high-input voltage, ESD pulses, and shock to the probe tips. The HP 1152A's probe tips are rigid enough for probing, yet pliable enough to bend if dropped, protecting the microcircuits from damage. In addition, the probe tips are easy and inexpensive to replace. You'll appreciate the reliability and ruggedness of the HP 1152A.

AutoProbe Interface Compatible

The HP 1152A is compatible with the AutoProbe Interface which completely configures the Infinium Oscilloscope for the probe. The interface recognizes the probe, and automatically sets up the proper power, 50-Ohm impedance and offset range.
