The Keysight N2797A Extreme Temperature Active Probe delivers 1.5 GHz bandwidth for high-speed signal acquisition across demanding thermal environments. This high-impedance, single-ended probe minimizes loading on the device under test with 1 MΩ input resistance and 1 pF input capacitance, preserving signal integrity in extreme temperature conditions from -40°C to +85°C. The 10:1 attenuation ratio, ±8 V dynamic input range, and ±12 V offset range support precise measurements across a wide variety of test scenarios. Its 233 ps rise time enables accurate characterization of fast digital transitions. The probe connects via Keysight AutoProbe interface with direct power delivery—no external supply required. A 2-meter cable and integrated white LED headlight complete the design for laboratory and chamber-based testing applications.
