For most electronic test and measurement applications, a modern
digital multimeter represents excellent value for money. However, in
spite of the high input resistance, the accuracy of a DMM degrades
rapidly when the frequency of the measured voltage rises above
400 Hz or so. This article describes the basics of designing a
passive test probe to overcome this limitation and extend the
usable frequency range of a DMM to about 100 MHz.
