Product Overview

The Keysight U1818A/B active differential probes provides high differential input

impedance from 100kHz to 7 or 12GHz. The new probes are designed to be

directly compatible with Keysight’s network, spectrum and signal source

analyzers. The U1818A/B probes provide high-frequency probing solution for R&D

and quality assurance engineers performing RF/Microwave and high-speed

digital design and validation in the wireline, wireless communications and

aerospace/defence industries.

Figure 1-1 Keysight U1818A/B active differential probe

Key features of Keysight U1818A/B active differential probes

– Broad bandwidth with flat frequency response, +/- 1.5dB, which ensures

excellent measurement accuracy and helps users achieve the best product

specifications

– Low noise floor, less than -130dBm/Hz at 10MHz to 12GHz, which allows

measurements to be made at a low signal amplitude

– Convenient biasing from Keysight’s RF and microwave instruments probe

power port or bench top power supply for user flexibility
