TekConnect®Probe Adapter for Real-time
Spectrum Analyzers
The RTPA2A Real-time Probe Adapter extends the capabilities of Real-time
Spectrum Analyzers (RTSA) by offering additional tools to make debu gging
today’s high-performan ce electrical designs easier. Using the RTPA2A
with Tektronix RTSA, design engineers can benefit from industry-leading
Tektronix active and differential probes to measure signals on S MD pins
and other challenging circuit features.
The RTPA2A provides probe power for up to two Tektronix P7000 Series
Features & Benefits
Interface Tektronix P7000 Series High-performance Active and
Differential Probes to Tektronix Real-time Spectrum Analyzers
Seamless Integration
Automatically Scales Measurement for Probe Attenuation Setting
Simplifies Setup for Troubleshooting, Eliminates Possible Setup
Errors, Requires No User Adjustment
Extends the Troubleshooting Capabilities of Tektronix Real-time
Spectrum Analyze rs with the World’s Best Probes
Troubleshoot and Determine RF Faults Directly on Circuit Boards where
No Coaxial Connection is Available
Use Differential Probes for High-impedance IQ Baseband Applications
probes through an external power supply. Probe control signals are handled
through a USB cable that connects the RTPA2A to the RTSA. This allows
the RTSA to automatically adjust the scale factor to account for attenuation
factor of the probe in channel A. The included SMA-to-N cable allows the
high-speed RF signal to travel between the RTPA2A and the RTSA.
Microsoft Windows XP is require d on the RTSA to communicate with the
RTPA2A. The RTSA also requires main system software shipped after
August 2005 to be compatible with the RTPA2A.
Tektronix High-performance Probing Solutions
Tektronix offers a variety of industry-leading active and differential probes.
Tektronix high-performance probes feature small probe heads and
numerous adapters to provide a flexible and reliable connection to the
Device Under Test (DUT).
