Oscilloscopes from Rohde & Schwarz

MUNICH, GERMANY: Rohde & Schwarz has added power analysis options and a new differential wide-band probe to its portfolio of analysis solutions for clocked power supplies.

Developers can use the R&S RTO-K31 or R&S RTM-K31 option to automatically perform all major quality analyses and conveniently document the measurement results.

The new R&S RT-ZD10 probe is especially ideal for the characterization of switching power supplies with high clock frequencies.

When performing analyses on clocked power supplies, users will benefit from the high sensitivity and dynamic range of the R&S RTO and R&S RTM oscilloscopes. This allows the output ripple of power supplies to be characterized exactly and small voltages or currents in converters to be measured with precision.

The R&S RT-ZF20 power deskew fixture allows automatic delay correction between the signals of the current probe and the voltage probe. The handy documentation feature helps users manage the measurement results and save the measurement documentation in RTF or PDF format.

Advanced switching power supplies have ever-higher clock frequencies. The new R&S RT-ZD10 active differential wide-band probe has proven especially useful for characterizing these power supplies. The probe combines a high bandwidth of 1 GHz and a large input voltage range of 70 V DC or 46 V AC. The common mode and differential offset compensation can be set separately from each other to increase the flexibility of the measurement.
