Probing configuration when using the
optical/electrical configuration of the
83496A/B (Option 101)
The primary usage of the 83496A/B Option 101 is for
extracting clocks from optical signals. However, electrical
inputs are provided to derive a clock from an electrical
signal. Unlike 83496A/B Option 100 or special Option
101-H05, there are no internal dividers to tap the
electrical signal and pass it to a measurement channel.
If an electrical signal is to provide a trigger and be
simultaneously observed, it must be divided before
entering the 83496A/B.
In a probing scenario, the chain of adapters required to
connect a probe and probe adapter becomes complex as
shown in the following sketch. Parts needed are:
• N1022A, probe adapter
• N1022-60014, adapter Type-N male to 3.5 NMD male
• 11636A, DC-18 GHz power divider, Type-N, 50 ohm
• 85054-60030, adapter: 3.5 mm female, Type-N male
• 1250-1745, adapter: 3.5 mm female, Type-N female
• 01143-61603, probe power extension cable
• 1143A probe power supply (optional)
