HF2TA Current Amplifier
The HF2TA current amplifier converts 2 input currents to an output voltage in a wide frequency range up to 50 MHz. This device is an active probe which can be conveniently placed close to the measurement setup. It supports most applications where a current must be converted to a voltage. The dedicated design of the HF2TA ensures stability and a smooth operation over the entire frequency range.
The HF2TA ideally fits to the HF2 Series with its single connector providing both power supply and remote control, and it can be controlled by the same graphical user interface of all HF2 Instruments.
