Just about everyone who has ever operated an oscilloscope has used an oscilloscope probe at one time or another. Some have had good experiences, while other had unfavorable ones— possibly as a result ...

Modern power supplies are edging upward in operational frequency. The benefits include a reduction in size and weight, plus an increase in energy density. For these designs, engineers are migrating to ...

An oscilloscope and a device under test (DUT) constitute a de-facto system. In it, the most overlooked element is the interface between the two: the oscilloscope’s probes. Test personnel simply grab ...

If you want to measure AC or DC current with an oscilloscope, a current clamp is a great way to do it. The clamp surrounds the wire, so you don’t need to break the connection to take your measurements ...

In Part 1, we covered the bandwidth limitations of passive probes and why they can't be used in today's switching power supply designs. High-frequency probes are expensive and often out of reach to ...
