  • Patent number: 10884045
    Abstract: Device and method for analyzing a probe, in particular for analyzing a symmetrical, differential probe. A ground-based test signal is provided to a main signal line, wherein the main signal line is terminated by a predetermined impedance. Furthermore, at least one additional signal line is provided, wherein a further impedance is arranged between the additional signal line and the ground. Accordingly, a differential probe may measure a differential signal between the main signal line and the additional signal line. Hence, no grounded signal is provided to the probe. This measurement of the probe can be compared with a reference signal directly acquired on the main signal line. In this way, characteristic values such as impedance and/or frequency response of the probe can be determined.

  • Patent number: 10732222
    Abstract: The invention relates to a real-time oscilloscope with a built-in time domain reflectometry (TDR) and/or time-domain transmission (TDT) function for measurements of a device under test (DUT). The real-time oscilloscope comprises at least one built-in generator and at least one real-time measurement channel. The built-in generator is in communication with the real-time measurement channel and the device under test (DUT) and is configured to generate incident signals. The real-time measurement channel is configured to capture incident signals transmitted to and reflected by and/or transmitted by the device under test (DUT).
