Passive Probes for Bode 100

Passive probes provide an interface between the device under test and the inputs of a vector network analyzer when using high-impedance input channels. The PML 111O and PHV 1000-O probes are specifically designed for use with the Bode 100, ensuring optimal signal integrity and protection of the instrument inputs. Standard oscilloscope probes are not recommended, as they may damage the analyzer.

PML 111O - Passive Probe 10:1

The PML 111O is a 10:1 passive probe manufactured by PMK and optimized for the Bode 100. It features a 1 MΩ || 12.5 pF input impedance, matched to the AC-coupled inputs of the analyzer, and provides a flat frequency response up to 50 MHz. The probe is pre-compensated and can be fine-tuned by the user.Typical applications:

• Accurate loop gain measurements
• Reduction of capacitive loading on the DUT
• Protection of Bode 100 input channels

Key specifications:

• Compact 2.5 mm probe design
• Input impedance: 1 MΩ || 12.5 pF
• Attenuation ratio: 10:1
