SPICE models can be used to predict probe loading effects. The models shown here are to be used only for modeling input impedance of Keysight probe heads. Probe amplifiers are not included in these models as their characteristics do not affect input impedance.
If damped wire accessories or longer mid-BW resistors (for solder-in probe heads) are used, they can be modeled by adding an RLC model in front of the appropriate probe head model and zeroing out the damping resistor in the probe head model. The schematics have parameterized R, L, and C values that are given in the SPICE deck for the probe head. Additionally, an input impedance plot is given that shows the matching of the measured data to the modeled data. Matching is generally very good up to the specified BW of the probe head with the 7GHz probe amp.
