General Purpose Probes Overview
Passive voltage probes are used
for general purpose probing and
are made with passive components only such as wires, connectors, capacitors and resistors
(when attenuation is required).
There are no active components
such as transistors or amplifiers
in the probe, and therefore passive voltage probes do not need
to be powered.
Model Probe Type Applications and Use Page
116XA Family Passive voltage General purpose, Infiniium replacement probes 4
(excluding the 1163A)
117XA Family Passive voltage Fine-pitched ICs, surface mount devices, and dense circuit boards 7
Passive Voltage Probe Advantages Limitations
116XA are rugged, economical, easy to use, 600 MHz maximum bandwidth
have high dynamic range and high input resistance Higher capacitive loading than active probes
117XA feature low mass, low weight, low tip 500 MHz bandwidth
capacitance compared to other passive probes Not as rugged as 116XA for browsing
Figure 2.1. Agilent 116XA standard
Infiniium replacement probe.
Figure 2.2. Agilent 117XA low mass probe
for fine-pitched ICs, SMDs, and dense
circuit boards.
General purpose probes are
available with attenuation ratios
of 1:1, 10:1, and 20:1. The 10:1
passive voltage probe is the most
commonly used probe, and is
supplied as a standard accessory
with all Infiniium oscilloscopes
having bandwidths ≤ 600 MHz.
Built for Reliability
These general purpose replacement devices are built and tested
for high reliability. Kevlar
strengthener has been added to
the probe cable for extra pull
strength. Durable probe tips
are replaceable.
The compact design significantly
reduces the problem of probing
densely populated integrated circuit components or the characteristically minute conductors on
printed circuit boards. These
small lightweight probes allow
measurements that were previously quite difficult, while reducing the danger of shorting. For
tight probing areas, the probe
handle can be unscrewed and
pulled back along the cable.
When probing about the circuit in
debug mode, the probes easily
slip inside the included browsers.
The browsers feature a crown
point that digs into solder and
avoids the danger of slipping off
the test point and shorting to
adjacent leads. A pogo pin allows
hand movement on the probes
without losing contact with the
device under test.

High-Frequency Voltage Probes Overview
Active voltage probes contain an
active component, usually a fieldeffect transistor (FET), and therefore need to be powered. A FET
input has the advantage of providing a very low input capacitance, typically from less than
1 pF to a few pF. This low capacitance results in a high input
impedance on frequencies up to
7 GHz. With such low loading,
active probes can be used on
high-impedance circuits that
would be seriously loaded by
passive probes.
New InfiniiMax probe family.
The innovative InfiniiMax probe
system provides either differentialor single-ended probing solutions
for the most demanding connection requirements, without sacrificing performance.

Model Probe Type Applications and Use Page
1131A/32A/34A Active Diff/SE Measure both differential and single-ended signals up to 7 GHz 10
1155A Active Single-Ended Measure fast transitions on low-voltage signals, 2 channels 13
1156A/57A/58A Active Single-Ended Measure fast transitions on low-voltage signals up to 4 GHz 15
1163A Resistive divider Measure fast transitions on a wide range of signal voltages 4
54006A Resistive divider Low-cost alternative for high-frequency probing 18
High-Frequency Probe Advantages Limitations
Timing and voltage measurements more accurate at Active probes are more expensive than general purpose passive probes
high bandwidths
Resistive divider probes cost less than active probes Relatively heavy resistive loading with resistive divider probes
Active probes are least intrusive to circuit under test, Active probes have lower dynamic range, lower maximum voltage and
high input resistance are less rugged compared to passive probes
Resistive divider probes are
passive probes. They feature low
capacitive loading and accurate
timing measurements with highbandwidth signals at a much
lower cost than active probes.

High-Frequency Active Differential/Single-Ended Probe System
Agilent 1130A/31A/32A/34A InfiniiMax High-Performance Active Probe System
The Agilent InfiniiMax 1134A,
1132A, 1131A and 1130A probe
systems provide 7 GHz, 5 GHz,
3.5 GHz and 1.5 GHz of bandwidth respectively, and offer the
following benefits:
• The new probes have a flat
frequency response over the
entire bandwidth specification,
eliminating the distortion and
loading that affect probes with
in-band resonance. The probing
system enables engineers to
utilize their oscilloscope’s entire
bandwidth without being limited
to measuring only 50 Ω transmission lines or using passive
resistive divider probes that
produce voltage measurement
error and circuit loading.
Designers can achieve system
measurement bandwidths of
4.5 to 6 GHz even when manually “browsing” with the probe.
Solder-in probe heads and
solder-in sockets provide even
higher bandwidths.
• The Agilent InfiniiMax 1130A
series probe system supports
a wide variety of real-world
applications with an extensive line up of probe heads and
accessories. The accessories
can meet the most demanding
• InfiniiMax 7 GHz, 5 GHz, 3.5 GHz,
and 1.5 GHz probing system
• Each InfiniiMax probe amplifier
supports both differential- and
single-ended measurements for a
more cost-effective solution
• Unrivaled InfiniiMax probing
accessories support browsing,
solder-in, and socket use models
at the maximum performance
available
• The 1130A 1.5 GHz model includes
probe amplifier and browser kit
Figure 3.3. InfiniiMax offers you the highest performance available
for measuring differential and single-ended signals.
mechanical access requirements.
Small probe heads can be placed
between densely packed PC
boards. Solder-in sockets are
available for signals that need
frequent measurement. A differential SMA probe head is
available to connect to fixtures
that have SMA connections. A
smart ergonomic design allows
users to set the spacing between
the probe pins (variable span).
When not concerned with minimum probe size, designers can
use a browsing sleeve to make
holding the probe more comfortable. Both probe tips of the
differential probe can “flex” to
support various probing angles
and target system characteristics
(z-axis compliance). Innovative
damped-wire accessories compensate for the inductance and
capacitance associated with
the leads, and prevent distortion of the measured signal.
• The groundbreaking design of
Agilent InfiniiMax 1130A probe
system also enables users to
make either single-ended or
differential measurements
from a single probe amplifier,
depending on their choice of
probe head and accessory. This
can result in significant savings
in cost and time. The common
mode rejection of the differential probe head reduces a measurement’s noise floor. Overall,
the Agilent 1130 series probing
system delivers unmatched
performance, accuracy
and connectivity.

Low Cost, Great Performance
Talk about big performance in a
small package! The two-channel,
low-mass 1155A combines a
probe tip that weighs less than
1 gram with the superior performance of an active probe. It’s
a powerful combination, ideal for
connecting to and testing finepitch ICs, surface mount devices,
and dense circuit boards.
The 1155A probe joins high
bandwidth (750 MHz), low input
capacitance (2 pF), and high
resistance (1 MΩ). These features
are well suited for measuring fast
transition times on low voltage
signals that cannot tolerate the
circuit loading of passive probes.
A Wedge Probe Adapter, included
with the probe, allows for handsfree probing of 0.5 mm ICs. The
Wedge provides accurate, mechanically non-invasive electrical
contact to the IC legs with little
chance of shorting. It’s easy to
insert and it stays put. For more
information on the Wedge, see
“Probing Accessories.” Leads are
available for connecting to a wide
variety of test points. See
“Ordering Information” for a
complete list.
These probes are compatible with
the AutoProbe interface, which
completely configures the oscilloscope for use with the probe.
Power for the active probe is supplied by the oscilloscope. A snapon BNC connector simplifies
attaching the probe to the scope.

Optimizing Oscilloscope Measurement Accuracy on High-Performance Systems with Agilent Active Probes
Application Note – publication number 5988-5021
• Ideal for a range of hi-speed
applications
• 88 ps rise time (on 4 GHz model)
• 100 kΩ, 0.8 pF, non-resonant
input impedance
• 5 V peak-to-peak dynamic range
• ± 15 V offset
• Accessories designed for
minimal device loading and
optimal response
• Small size for easier probing
As the speeds in your design
increase, you may notice more
overshoot, ringing, and other perturbations when connecting an
oscilloscope probe. Probes form a
resonant circuit where they connect to the device. If this resonance is within the bandwidth of
the oscilloscope probe you are
using, it will be difficult to determine if the measured perturbations are due to your circuit or
the probe.
Combined with the Agilent
54846A/B Infiniium scope, the
1158A 4 GHz probe offers you a
full 2.25 GHz of system bandwidth, giving you accurate insight
into your hi-speed devices.
These probes are compatible with
the AutoProbe interface, which
completely configures the oscilloscope for use with the probe.
Power for the active probe is supplied by the oscilloscope.
Faithful Reproduction of Your Signal
Now you can accurately measure
your hi-speed signals without
introducing errors from a probe
that has a resonant input impedance or non-flat frequency
response. With the 1156A/57A/58A
probes, a damping resistor is
placed as close as possible to the
point being probed, which keeps
the input impedance from resonating low, and it also allows a
flat frequency response across
the entire bandwidth of the probe.
Finally, there is a high-bandwidth
active probe where the waveform
onscreen matches the waveform
at the probe tip. The 1158A offers
a flat response for the entire
bandwidth of a 4 GHz probe!
Small Size
Have you experienced problems
with large, clunky probes? If so,
you probably found your probe
awkward to hold and had difficulty connecting to your signals.
With the small size of the
1156A/57A/58A, you can handle
the probe expertly and gain
access to tight spaces. Plus, the
low mass makes the probe more
durable. Agilent makes your job
easier–giving you performance
that is easy to use.

and ground blade.
Superior Accessories
Your device under test (DUT)
determines the type of probing
accessories you need. Of course,
there are electrical trade-offs
depending on the type of connection you use. Longer connections
from your DUT produce lower
performance probing systems.
Agilent offers a variety of accessories optimized to give you the
most accurate reproduction of
your signal. In addition, the performance of each accessory is
characterized for you. Now you
can make informed decisions and
get the best measurement for
your environment. Superior performance combined with the
knowledge to use it–that’s how
Agilent helps you do your job better.
