EEVblog 1718 - Cheap 1GHz Oscilloscopes are Useless? ($5 DIY 1GHz Resistive Probe)
Open with LBRYWhat use is a 500MHz oscilloscope if it doesn't have a high frequency active probe interface? Well, there are several options including a cheap $5 DIY resistive probe.
Demonstration of active FET probing vs Passive Probing vs DIY Resistive probing.
A lot of material extracted from videos 1367 and 1368
