1.2 GHz Active FET Probe Kit
Overview:
The CT4121 is a compact FET probe with
very high input resistance and low input
capacitance. With a 1.2 GHz bandwidth,
this probe is ideal for timing analysis or
troubleshooting high speed logic circuits, for
design verification of disk drives, as well as
for wireless and data communication design.
The CT4121 can measure up to ±40 V (DC +
AC peak). Compatible with oscilloscopes from
all major manufacturers, the probe is powered
by the included 9 V battery or direct from the
oscilloscope using the included USB power
lead.
