Greetings! New potential user of the SA44B, which would fit my needs perfectly if its input could be hotrodded with an external preamp that would accept a 10X scope probe for benchtop design work. Top frequency of interest would be 150MHz and below, with signal levels on the order of 1V p-p (fundamental) that require hi-Z monitoring. Thanks for any hints or notations of use in this application!
We have a probe that works from about 100 kHz to 4 GHz, with about a 500 ohm AC load to your circuit (DC blocked). We are not set up for a FET probe, which would be what you would need for a high impedance load to your circuit but a 50 ohm output impedance. This is more of an oscilloscope function.
If it helps there are schematics online. Typically a 1 Mohm input impedance to a non-inverting unity gain op amp, with a 50 ohm series resistor (or resistor to bring it to 50 ohms) on the output. You may want to add a ceramic [0.1 – 10] uF DC blocking cap, depending on your low frequency coverage needs.
