Description

Teledyne LeCroy’s WaveLink high bandwidth differential probes utilize advanced differential traveling wave (distributed)
amplifier architecture to achieve superior high frequency true analog broadband performance. Traveling wave (distributed)
amplifiers are commonly used in ultra high frequency broadband amplifiers. This multi-stage amplifier architecture maximizes gain per stage and minimizes probe attenuation, which provides very low probe noise and fast rise times.

Unexcelled Waveform Accuracy

When used to acquire input signals for the SDA 11000, the D11000PS provides unprecedented waveform fidelity, even with signals at highest 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 SDA 11000 when the probe is connected. The probe calibration data and the SDA 11000 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.

Compatibility

The D11000PS is designed specifically for use with the SDA 11000. However, it does contain additional calibration data for use with all of the lower bandwidth WaveMaster®, SDA, and DDA 5005A series oscilloscopes and analyzers.
