Hi Said, We have a lot of fet probes in our lab, including Tek, hp and Philips. Only one is useful for jitter measurements with the Wavcrest, the hp 200MHz differential probe. I use it most of the time single ended. It is the noise bandwidth of the probe that is of most importance. If realy a fet probe is needed, than use a lowpass filter with enough bandwidth after the probe. Most of the time the majority of the jitter is still seen and the large noise bandwidth of the probe is attenuated.

Or not using the FET probes? _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
