OSCILLOSCOPE PROBE
First Claim
1. Probe for an oscilloscope with a multi-stage transistor amplifier acting as an impedance converter, of which the output is connected to the oscilloscope,characterized in thatthe amplifier is a DC-coupled emitter-follower circuit constructed from bipolar transistors or a DC-coupled source-follower circuit constructed from field-effect transistors or a circuit composed of both of these circuits, of which the successive amplifier elements are dimensioned and matched to one another in such a manner that the resulting offset direct voltage between the input and the output is minimal.

Abstract
Disclosed is a probe for an oscilloscope comprising a multi-stage transistor amplifier that acts as an impedance transformer. Said amplifier is a d.c.-coupled emitter follower circuit that is composed of bipolar transistors or a d.c.-coupled source follower circuit which is composed of field effect transistors and the successive amplifier elements of which are dimensioned and tuned to each other in such a way that the resulting offset direct voltage between the input and the output is minimal.
