Tektronix RTPA2A

Tektronix RTPA2A Real-Time Probe AdapterThe Tektronix RTPA2A Real-time Probe Adapter extends the capabilities of Realtime Spectrum Analysers (RTSA) by offering additional tools to make debugging today’s high-performance electrical designs easier. Using the Tektronix RTPA2A with Tektronix RTSA, design engineers can benefit from industryleading Tektronix active and diffeial probes to measure signals on SMD pins and other challenging circuit features.The Tektronix RTPA2A provides probe power for up to two Tektronix P7000 Series probes through an external power supply. Probe control signals are handled through a USB cable that connects the RTPA2A to the RTSA. This allows the RTSA to automatically adjust the scale factor to account for attenuation factor of the probe in channel A. The included SMA-to-N cable allows the high-speed RF signal to travel between the Tektronix RTPA2A and the RTSA.Features and Specifications of the Tektronix RTPA2A includes:
