High-performance rugged probes for RF and SI probing
PacketMicro offers a family of single-ended and differential probes that are much stronger than microprobes. With performance at up to 40 and 20 GHz, they have comparable measured S-parameter result at lower prices.
Highlights
- Quality, precision, performance, ruggedness
- Symmetrical (no separate GS and SG configurations)
- Good for bare and stuffed boards and boards with solder bumps
- Work with PacketMicro TP150 and TP250 positioners
- Most price competitive in the industry
- Availability: now
Constant shrinking size of circuit components makes soldering semi-rigid RF cables to test GHz circuits impractical. The rugged S-Probe and its TCS70 calibration substrate allow engineers to perform probe-tip calibration for accurate, repetitive measurements. Its strong beryllium copper (BeCu) tips is perfect for direct probing of solder pads and circuit components.
D-Probe
The stackable holders with steel structure and magnetic base hold PCB steadily at various heights up to 40 GHz.
With only two signal pins, D-Probes can perform accurate measurements without the need of nearby ground pads. Recent advancement in 2X-Thru de-embedding methodology makes the D-Probe ideal for signal-integrity measurements. With de-embedding tools, such as Clear Signal AITT, SS D-Probes and GSSG microprobes offer comparable accuracy.
