I am trying to design a simple FET probe circuit. The input side (capacitive divider/BF998) and buffering with a MMIC seems feasable. At least in my SPICE simulation.
But at the scope side I have trouble finding the optimal match circuit. At the high side of the spectrum the scope capacitance causes a ripple effect in the sensitivity, probably by the reflections. I have tried putting a little inductance in series with the 50 ohm terminator, which seems to help a little, but is really critical to the actual capacitance value of the scope input. By the way, I use a 1 meter 50ohm transmission line for the cable in SPICE.
Has anybody an idea how to find a reasonable termination circuit at the scope end of the cable?
