The Rohde & Schwarz RT-ZD20 is a 1.5 GHz active differential broadband probe designed for high-fidelity signal integrity measurements across electronic circuits and systems. It delivers accurate differential signal acquisition with minimal loading effects on the circuit under test, enabling precise measurement of both differential and single-ended signals without requiring a ground reference.
