The CT6 is a high-frequency current probe that features ultra-high bandwidth, ultra-low inductance, and an extremely small form factor. It can be used to measure current waveforms with rise times as fast as 200 picoseconds. The probe has a very low loading effect on the circuit under test, making it ideal for use in dense, closely-spaced circuit designs.
The CT1, CT2 and CT6 are high‑frequency AC current probes designed for circuit‑board and in‑circuit installation. They provide ultra‑low inductance (<3 nH), high bandwidth (up to 2 GHz for the CT6) and a compact form factor, making them suitable for dense, high‑speed designs such as data‑storage read channels and high‑frequency analog circuits.
These probes are used with 50 Ω‑terminated oscilloscopes via the optional P6041 BNC probe cable (42 inches nominal). They support differential current measurements, single‑shot pulse measurements, propagation‑delay measurements and a range of other high‑speed test applications. Ordering information, accessories and calibration services are listed at the end of the document.
| Sensitivity (into 50 Ω) – CT1 | 5 mV/mA |
|---|---|
| Max. Peak Pulse Current – CT2 | 36 A |
| Propagation Delay – CT6 | 5.2 nSec |
The CT1 probe provides a sensitivity of 5 mV per milliamp when terminated into 50 Ω.
The CT2 probe can handle a peak pulse current of 36 A.
