The Rohde & Schwarz RT-ZM30 is a modular probe amplifier delivering 3 GHz bandwidth and sub-100 ps rise time for precision high-speed measurements. It enables single-ended, differential, and common mode operation without probe tip reconnection, making it ideal for signal integrity analysis across complex measurement scenarios. The integrated offset compensation extends the operating voltage window to ±16 V, allowing maximum signal resolution. An onboard voltmeter provides 0.05% accuracy DC measurement independent of oscilloscope operation, while a micro button control interface streamlines instrument operation.
