Tektronix Encore Range

Tektronix CT6 AC Current Oscilloscope Probe

Features and Specifications

• High Bandwidth, 250 kHz to 2 GHz
• Ultra-low Inductance
• Very Small Form Factor
• Characterize Current Waveforms up to <200 ps Rise Times
• Very Low Loading of Circuit Under Test
• Fits Into Dense, Closely-spaced Circuit Designs

The CT6 is the newest addition to the Tektronix portfolio of high-frequency current probes. It is designed to meet the needs of high-speed circuit design and test applications which require ultra-high bandwidth, low inductance, and extremely small form factor. The CT6 provides up to 2 GHz bandwidth when used with high-bandwidth oscilloscopes such as the Tektronix TDS694C, TDS794D, and TDS7000 Series oscilloscopes or with other compatible 50 Ω input measuring instruments. Low inductance (<3 nH) assures that the loading effect of the CT6 on the circuit-under-test will be negligible, which is especially important for today's low-amplitude, high-speed circuit designs such as disk drive read/write preamplifiers. The probe is a closed-circuit design which will accept uninsulated wire sized up to 20 gauge. This product is exempt from CE mark by virtue of its 30 V voltage limit.
