Episode 924 I got this off eBay from Ukraine. Not bad for the price search eBay for "RF active probe 0.1 - 1500 MHz - 1.5 GHz analyzer oscilloscope" Be a Patron: / imsaiguy

The output of the 9$ DIY Probe is 50Ohm. Will probably work a lot better with a 50Ohm terminator in front of your scope. For the ground I use a pogo pin soldered to a piece of single core copper wire. This allow me to move it around.

That's another nice experiment! It'd be interesting to see what the barebones-probe looks like with shorter signal and gnd connections, like the Tek.

Keep meaning to build one, have had the circuit on my phone for several years! I've got the dual gate mosfet. I was going to use it on my spectrum analyzer, best wishes nick

It would be interesting to see how the 2 probes compare when using a spectrum analyzer.

Great video, thanks. But not sure about the position of the 50 Ohm switch of tek probe. As MSO5000 has no 50 ohms input the switch should be in the "Int" position to terminate the load at 50 Ohms. Ma be you might wanna try it again in that mode to reduce the distortion.

I built my Janiel probe into a large diameter Sharpie pen body that makes it much more ergonomic to use.

Yeah, that was a good comparison, maybe other DIYs or modding this one to a shorter ground could do better. BTW, did u get to hack that Rigol scope to its full bandwidth? I've heard it's possible. Thanks!

It is. You can tell by the way the schematic is drawn :-) and the number in the bottom right corner. According to the Elektro site this one was published in October 2004. The author / designer of the circuit is David Jewsbury. Cheers.

Pardon my ignorance, but what on earth is a FET probe, and why do I need one?

One is a DC to HF probe, de DIY probe is HF only, you don´t need a GND, or at least is what I have seen in my measurements. I have two fet probes too, one DIY and the other tektronics. You have to put the scopes in 50 ohms mode!!! Please test theses probes with the VNA, thanks!
@kosmic56952 жыл бұрын
The DIY one is AC couple (cap in series with the input) but nevertheless you always need a ground.

Put that long ground wire on your Tek probe and then do the comparison. You didn't give the DIY a fair test. Put a little effort into making a good tip for the DIY probe, similar to the Tek probe and redo the test. Otherwise, love your content.
