The Keysight 10073C is a 10:1 passive probe engineered for high-bandwidth signal acquisition across oscilloscopes in the 300 MHz to 1 GHz range. This probe delivers 500 MHz bandwidth with system risetime below 700 ps, making it suitable for moderate-speed digital and analog measurements. The passive design ensures minimal loading on test circuits with 2.2 MΩ input resistance (when terminated into 1 MΩ) and approximately 12 pF input capacitance.
