TEKTRONIX CT6

The CT6 from Tektronix is an AC high frequency current probe. It is designed to meet the needs of high-speed circuit design and test applications which require ultra-high bandwidth, low inductance and extremely small form factor. The CT6 provides up to 2GHz bandwidth when used with high-bandwidth oscilloscopes such as the Tektronix TDS694C, TDS794D and TDS7000 Series oscilloscopes or with other compatible 50 ohm input measuring instruments. Low inductance (3nH) assures that the loading effect of the CT6 on the circuit-under-test will be negligible which is especially important for today's low-amplitude, high-speed circuit designs such as disk drive read/write preamplifiers. Typical applications include data storage read channel design, silicon characterization, high-frequency analogue design, ESD testing, signal injection, differential current measurements, single-shot low rep-rate pulse measurements and propagation delay measurements.
