Probing Principles
NOTE. Adding a second conductor to the probe increases the insertion impedance and reduces the upper b andwidth limit of the
probe. Winding multiple turns further increases the insertion impedance, further reducing the upper bandwidth limit.
To increase the value of the bucking current:
1. Wind multiple turns of the second
conductor around the probe.
The bucking current is equal to the current
flowing in the conductor, multiplied by the
number of turns w ound around the probe.
For example, if the second conductor has a
current of 100 mA DC and is wrapped around
the probe five times, the DC bucking current is
100 mA multiplied by 5, or 500 mA DC.
