Overview

The R&S®RT-ZVC multi-channel power probes measure up to four voltage and four current channels at the same time, with an 18-bit ADC sampling each channel at 5 Msample/s for high dynamic range power analysis. The voltage range runs from ±1.8 V to ±15 V and the current range from ±4.5 μA to ±10 A, which covers an IoT device across its whole span from active mode down to deep sleep. Bandwidth is 1 MHz with a configurable low-pass filter down to 5 kHz — a fit for power consumption analysis on battery-powered devices, activity-phase energy budgets for IoT products, and any verification job that needs several points measured at once. Through the digital extension port of an R&S®RTP or R&S®RTO2000 oscilloscope, two probes can be connected together for 8 voltage plus 8 current channels across a whole system.

Key features

  • 18-bit ADC gives the dynamic range to capture active current and sleep current in the same acquisition
  • 5 Msample/s per channel with 1 MHz bandwidth and a configurable low-pass filter (down to 5 kHz)
  • Current measurement from ±4.5 μA to ±10 A with an internal shunt — no external sensor required
  • Flexible connection options: PCB probe cables, 4 mm test lead cables, solder-in cables and BNC connector cables
  • Two probes can be chained through the oscilloscope's digital extension port (R&S®RTP-B1E / R&S®RTO-B1E) for up to 8 simultaneous channel pairs
  • Integrates directly with R&S®RTP and R&S®RTO2000 oscilloscopes, showing power waveforms and energy calculations on the instrument itself

Typical applications

  • Battery life verification and power consumption analysis for IoT devices
  • Simultaneous voltage and current measurement across the operating states of a battery-powered product (active, standby, sleep)
  • Activity-phase energy assessment and power profiling
  • Dynamic current profiling of wireless modules (LTE/5G/Wi-Fi) while transmitting
  • Simultaneous verification of multi-rail power systems (up to 8 V/I pairs)
