Why are Deskew Fixtures expensive?

Touché :)

We spec it as rise/fall times and amplitudes: see attached

Thanks for that.

Seems R&S also have a small loop too large for the 100 MHz Tek P6022 current probe, just like with Siglent DF2001A Deskew Fixture.  ::)

Had to modify mine by removing the PCB loop and fit a wire link to meet the P6022 0.140" max cable dia spec.

And I had copied this "Tautech mod", plus an acrylic bottom plate.. 8)

Tell me Martin, is the large loop running the same ~22kHz frequency as the small loop ?
I've never checked....as I don't have a large/monster current probe.  :(

Oh hang on, I measured both the risetimes here:

Thanks for the explanation about your RT-ZF20 fixture, and for the video you made.

The RT-ZF20 looks nice but yes for me (hobby usage) it's not in my budget. What I meant by "expensive" was about the price of raw components, no FPGA or MCU, just a NE555 and a MOSFET.

Yes, I like your videos in general, I always learn something.

BTW, I went to an automation fair in Bern yesterday and was able to see some MXO4 and other nice SA at the Rohde&Schwarz booth. I may be interested in the RTB2K-COM4 as I found a nice discount (well still quite expensive compared to Siglent for my small budget, but I'm quite tempted).
