Abstract
An oscilloscope probe includes a tip network, a low-loss signal cable, and a terminating assembly. The tip network is connected to the signal cable and is configured to electrically connect to a device under test via a tip network node. The terminating assembly includes an amplifier, a feedback network and a terminating attenuator. The amplifier has an inverting input, a non-inverting input connected to ground, and an amplifier output configured to connect to an oscilloscope input. The feedback network is connected between the inverting input and the amplifier output. The terminating attenuator includes a first loop circuit and a second loop circuit. The first loop circuit is provided between the signal cable and the inverting input of the amplifier. The second loop circuit is provided between the signal cable, and ground. Resistance of terminating resistors in the loop circuits are selected to match characteristic impedance of the signal cable.
