PROBES AND PROBE ACCESSORIES
The D11000PS extends the full signal acquisition performance of the SDA 11000 and
SDA 9000 to the probe tips. With 11 GHz system bandwidth, the probe enables direct
measurement of high-speed serial data streams up to 6.25 Gb/s. The D11000PS also
provides 11 GHz system bandwidth when used with the SDA 18000.
Choice of Interconnect Styles Without Compromising Performance
The D11000PS provides both direct Solder-In and cabled SMA interconnect lead
assemblies. Each interconnect lead comes with a dedicated probe amplifier module
that has calibration data optimized for the respective lead. This eliminates the
performance compromise of using a single calibration for multiple lead types. The
Solder-In lead provides the highest possible signal integrity with a high loading
impedance. The dual SMA interconnect leads provide a true differential 50 Ω input.
This is a convenient alternative to direct cabling into the oscilloscope inputs, freeing
up the second channel for other signal input, and eliminating the need to set up
waveform math and match cable delays.
Unsurpassed Waveform Accuracy
When used to acquire input signals for the SDA 11000, SDA 9000, or SDA 18000, the
D11000PS provides unprecedented waveform fidelity, even with signals at higher
serial data rates. The D11000PS utilizes third generation compensation calibration,
the most advanced in use today, to provide optimal system response.
Each individual probe is characterized with this system. Information on the probe’s
frequency and time domain responses are stored in non-volatile memory within
the probe amplifier module. This information is uploaded to the higher bandwidth
SDA’s when the probe is connected. The probe calibration data and the SDA
oscilloscope’s calibration data combine to generate new equalization filters for
the composite system. The resulting compensation system corrects for frequency
response deviations, as well as group delay correction and reflection cancellation.
