  • Patent number: 9667233
    Abstract: A circuit for the compensation of an offset voltage in a measurement amplifier and/or of a DC-signal component contained in a measurement signal is provided. The circuit comprises a measurement-signal terminal for the measurement signal. The non-inverting input of the measurement amplifier serves for the feeding in of an AC-signal component of the measurement signal via a first capacitor. Additionally, the circuit contains a second amplifier for the addition of the DC-signal component in the measurement signal and of a signal corresponding to the negative offset voltage and to the negative DC-signal component, and a unit arranged at the input end or output end of the measurement amplifier for subtraction of an output signal of the second amplifier from the AC-signal component of the measurement signal.

  • Patent number: 8581611
    Abstract: Disclosed is a probe (21) for an oscilloscope (24) comprising a multi-stage transistor amplifier (26) which is used as an impedance transformer and the output of which is connected to the oscilloscope (24). An electronic switching device (27) that can be remote-controlled by means of the oscilloscope (24) is assigned to the input (Vin) of the amplifier (26). Said electronic switching device (27) allows frame potential or a reference voltage to be alternatively connected to the amplifier input (Vin) instead of the measuring-circuit voltage of the measuring tip (22) such that the direct voltage offset is measured when the amplifier input (Vin) is connected to frame while the gain error in the oscilloscope (24) is measured when the reference voltage is applied, and said direct voltage offset or gain error is adequately taken into account when the measuring-circuit voltage in the oscilloscope is evaluated.

  • Patent number: 7905742
    Abstract: The invention relates to a coaxial plug for connecting to a high-frequency transmission line. The housing of the coaxial plug has two slits arranged opposite each other, extending from the plug-side end in the axial direction, and both arranged and designed to form an axial abutment for receiving a BNC pin. A latching fork is arranged on the housing with two latching prongs tangentially overlapping an axial slit of the housing between the abutment and the plug-side end. Each BNC pin is held between a latching prong and an abutment of the axial slit, creating a locked connection between the coaxial plug and the BNC coaxial socket. The latching fork is pivotably arranged between a locking position in which the latching prongs tangentially overlap the axial slits, and a clearing position in which the latching prongs clear the axial slits over the entire length thereof.
