Ground lead inductance can cause signal distortion. Choosing the correct signal lead configuration is important. Minimize Ground Lead Effects in Probes LAB-WM1026 General purpose high impedance passive probes have a ground lead Summary connection as a signal reference. The probes are usually made with a Ground lead inductance can short wire that connects the probe head to the signal ground reference. cause signal distortion. Since the short wire has inductance, some distortion may be caused to Choosing the correct signal the signal, especially if it has a fast transition time. Because of this lead lead configuration is important inductance, it is recommended to keep the length as short as possible. LeCroy’s passive prob……
