Real-World Analysis of Oscilloscope Probes
This article conducts a real-world analysis of oscilloscope probes, comparing their performance and impact on signal measurements. The author tests a variety of probes, including both high-quality and budget options, revealing surprising results. Despite expectations, some budget probes perform comparably to more expensive ones, emphasizing that bandwidth alone is not the sole determinant of probe quality. The study underscores the importance of understanding a probe's behavior and choosing based on various factors beyond just bandwidth. Additionally, the article highlights that major brand-name probes (Diglent, Keysight, Rigol) offer more consistent performance and quality control compared to cheaper alternatives.
