Description
Overview
The Tektronix TPA-N-PRE is an external preamplifier accessory designed for the MDO4000 and MDO3000 series mixed-domain oscilloscopes. It provides 12dB of nominal gain to lower the already-low noise floor of these instruments, enabling detection of very small signals in low-amplitude applications where signals are otherwise buried in instrument noise. This accessory is essential for sensitive measurements in communications, RF, and signal integrity applications.
