robe

The Agilent Technologies 54701A 2.5-GHz Active Probe is a probe solution for

high-frequency applications.This probe is designed to be powered from a

connector at the front of the oscilloscope or with the 1143A Probe Offset

Control and Power Module. It can be used with any measuring instrument

with a 50-Ω input. Following are the main features. See Chapter 3 for full

specifications and characteristics.

• A bandwidth of 2.5 GHz

• Input resistance of 100 kΩ

• Input capacitance of approximately 0.6 pF

• Dynamic range of ±5 V peak ac and ±50 Vdc

• Variable dc offset of ±50 V

• Excellent immunity to ESD and over-voltages

Accessories Supplied

The following accessories are supplied. See “Using probe accessories” in

chapter 1 for a complete list.

• Type N(f) to BNC(m) adapter

• “Walking-stick” ground

• Box of small accessories

• Carrying case

• User and Service Guide

Accessories Available

Service Strategy

Except for the probe tip there are no field replacable parts in the Active

Probe. Depending on the warranty status of your probe if it fails it will be

replaced or exchanged. See chapter 3 “Service ” for further information and

how to return your probe to Agilent Technologies for service.

Option 001

In This Book

This book provides use and service documentation for the 54701A 2.5-GHz

Active Probe. It is divided into three chapters.

Chapter 1 shows you how to set up and operate the probe using the power

connector on the oscilloscope or the separately available 1143A Probe Offset

Control and Power Module.

Chapter 2 gives you information about some important aspects of probing and

how to get the best results with your probe.

Chapter 3 provides service information. Included is how to test the probes

performance how and when to make the one adjustment and how to

determine if your probe needs repair.

Chapter 1: Operating the Probe

Introduction

This chapter shows you how to connect and operate the 54701A Active Probe.

The following information is covered in this chapter:

• Inspection

• Probe operating range

• Connecting the probe

• Operating the probe with oscilloscope power

• Operating the probe with a power module

• Using accessories

To inspect the probe

❏Inspect the shipping container for damage.

Keep a damaged shipping container or cushioning material until the

contents of the shipment have been checked for completeness and the

instrument has been checked mechanically and electrically.

❏Check the accessories.

Accessories supplied with the instrument are listed in "Accessories

Supplied" in table 1 page 16 in this manual.

• If the contents are incomplete or damaged notify your Agilent

Technologies sales office.

❏Inspect the instrument.

• If there is mechanical damage or defect or if the instrument does not

operate properly or pass calibration tests notify your Agilent

Technologies sales office.

• If the shipping container is damaged or the cushioning materials show

signs of stress notify the carrier as well as your Agilent Technologies

sales office. Keep the shipping materials for the carrier's inspection.

The Agilent office will arrange for repair or replacement at Agilent

Technologies’ option without waiting for claim settlement.
