Product Detail

Non-Contact Broadband Probes
(ScanEM-C)
 

Connect a ScanEM-C probe to ANY spectrum analyzer or oscilloscope and open its eyes to signals it has never seen with passive probes. Click here to see larger size chart.

Even with the preamplifier, the passive probes produce little or no output at lower frequencies. This distorts the visible ratio between fundamental and harmonics.

As an amplified EM field probe for a spectrum analyzer, ScanEM-C outperforms the passive probes. Each ScanEM-C probe has an amplifier built-in -- no external amplifier required.

Each ScanEM-C probe covers the entire bandwidth. With the wide frequency response and a built-in broadband amplifier you will be able to see even the weakest emission without a bench-full of equipment and a maze of cables.

Check the frequency responses of the ScanEM-C probes versus their passive counterparts and compare for yourself. Traditional passive probes have little or no output at lower frequencies (where the most fundamental frequencies are).

ScanEM-C can pinpoint a source of emission down to a trace or a specific component.

Regular scope probes are not only limited in bandwidth, but also load the circuit under test and change its behavior. Has it ever happen to you that a non-working circuit suddenly behaves well when you connect a scope probe to it?

With ScanEM-C probes you will see the signal without contact with the circuit and without altering signal shapes.

ScanEM-C probes have a very wide bandwidth that will make the oscilloscope itself the limiting factor in the overall frequency response. You won't miss elusive high-speed transients again. ScanEM-EC as an electric field probe shows the voltage on traces. ScanEM-HC as a magnetic field probe lets you see the AC current on traces with 1GHz bandwidth.

Does your product mysteriously begin to work when connected to an oscilloscope? Is your conventional scope probe hiding something from you? Please see Application Notes AP103
