The Rohde & Schwarz RT-ZM160 is a modular probe amplifier delivering 16 GHz bandwidth for high-speed signal acquisition and precise measurements. This multimode amplifier supports differential, single-ended, and common-mode measurement configurations, enabling flexible adaptation to diverse test scenarios. The RT-ZM160 integrates an R&S®ProbeMeter for independent DC voltage measurement with 0.05% accuracy and features a configurable micro button for instrument control. Its modular architecture and SMP connector interface ensure seamless integration across Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscope platforms.
