High-Frequency Probe Equivalent Circuit
The impedance plots for the two models are shown in these
figures. By comparing the two plots, you can see that both the
series tip resistor and the cable's characteristic impedance
extend the input impedance significantly. The stray tip
capacitance, which is generally small (1 pF), sets the final break
point on the impedance chart.
