Measure Output Ripple with High-Sensitivity
Engineers often use 1:1 passive probes for the sensitivity required to measure the output ripple of DC supplies. But 1:1 passive probes have limited bandwidth (typically less than 35 MHz) and no DC offset capability. A Keysight power rail probe can measure noise, output ripple, and transients on DC power supplies with high sensitivity (millivolts), large DC offsets, and high bandwidth.
