Overview

The R&S® RT-ZPR20/40 power rail probes combine high bandwidth, high sensitivity and very low noise with an extra-large offset compensation range, which is what power integrity measurement asks for. The 1:1 attenuation ratio keeps sensitivity high and does not attenuate the signal away. An integrated high-precision DC voltmeter shows the rail's DC level immediately, with no second instrument involved. The ±60 V offset range lets the probe resolve tiny ripple on rails at almost any DC level — DDR memory supply verification, high-speed PCB power integrity analysis and the like.

Key features

  • High bandwidth: 2 GHz (RT-ZPR20) or 4 GHz (RT-ZPR40), enough for fast signal transitions
  • Extra-large offset compensation range of ±60 V, so small ripple can be measured on a high DC rail
  • 1:1 attenuation ratio: high sensitivity, with the detail of the signal preserved
  • Very low added noise, for accurate measurement and intact signal integrity
  • Integrated high-precision DC voltmeter shows the DC level live, with no extra instrument
  • Works with Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscopes including the RTA4000, RTM3000, RTE1000 and RTO2000

Typical applications

  • Power integrity measurement: rail ripple, noise and transient response
  • DDR memory supply verification: power integrity analysis on DDR memory systems
  • Supply analysis on high-speed digital circuits: rails feeding FPGAs, SoCs and processors
  • Ripple and noise analysis on switched-mode power supplies (SMPS)
  • Verification and debugging of PCB power distribution networks
