GGB Picoprobe Model 50 High Performance Microwave Probe

The GGB Industries Model 50 Picoprobe also provides direct viewing of the probe tips for accurate positioning. Probe pitches greater than 1250 microns can be accommodated. The probe can be configured with Ground-Signal-Ground (G,S,G), Ground-Signal (G,S), or Signal-Ground (S,G) tip  footprints. We recommend smaller pitches with a G,S,G footprint for best performance.

• Durable design and construction
• 33GHz to 50GHz / WR-22 waveguide input
• Insertion loss less than 0.8dB
• Return loss 15dB max
• Measurement repeatability -55dB
• Individually spring loaded contacts
• BeCu or Tungsten tips available
• Any pitch from 50 to 1250 microns
• Bias T option available
• Patented coaxial design

Micropositioners are available to hold frequency extenders and modules so that the module or frequency extender and the probe are micropositioned as a unit. In this way, total ease of positioning can be achieved with minimum insertion loss. The probes also have a 3 hole mounting adaptor which will fit standard microwave probe stations. In this case, a longer section of waveguide may be desired to add positioning flexibility.
