Established in 1980, GGB Industries, the originator of the Picoprobe® line of microwave and oscilloscope probes, have served the on-wafer probing needs of the worldwide semiconductor industry. With 40 years experience in design and manufacture they established their reputation with a line of high impedance troubleshooting probes for diagnostic studies of the internal workings of complex logic and memory chips. In 1988, GGB Industries, Inc., revolutionised on-wafer microwave probing with a new patented coaxial microwave probe having 50 ohm coplanar flexible tips. The introduction of a high performance W-band millimetre wave probe in 1992 established GGB Industries, Inc., as the world leader in microwave probes. They pride themselves with their craftsmanship, precision, customer service, and problem solving.
The GGB Industries, Inc., line of CALIBRATION SUBSTRATES allows the user to calibrate any GGB Industries, Inc., microwave Picoprobe® at the probe tip. The underlying principal of the calibration of a measurement system is to provide accurate known standards to which the measurement system can be connected. Each calibration substrate contains highly precise elements for calibrating out the unavoidable errors and losses in a microwave network analyser, its associated cabling, and the microwave probe to ensure accurate on-wafer testing.

Signal to signal spacing is user adjustable
Same performance as individual Model 40A, 50A, 67A, and 110H probes
Patented coaxial design
Differential calibration substrates available for two, three and four port calibrations
The PICOPROBE® Model 12C active probe by GGB Industries is an ideal accessory for our probe stations and micropositioners. High input impedance, low input capacitance, can be mounted on any micropositioner for use with any probing system.
The PICOPROBE® MODEL 34A is designed to connect to the mounted onto our EB-050 and EB-005 micropositioners to help prove high frequency circuit designs. The Model 34A achieves its 3GHz bandwidth using just one probe point without sacrificing performance.
An assortment of user replaceable probe tips are available for a variety of probing needs. The Model 34A is powered by our standard PS-2 Picoprobe® power supply.
The GGB Industries Model 40A microwave Picoprobe gives an insertion loss of less than 0.8 db and a return loss of greater than 18 db through 40 GHz. With its individually spring loaded Beryllium-Copper or optional Tungsten tips, the Model 40A provides reliable contacts, even when probing non-planar structures. Available in any pitch (tip spacing) from 50 to 1250 microns. The probe can be configured with Ground-Signal-Ground (G,S,G), Ground-Signal (G,S), or Signal-Ground (S,G) tip footprints.
Please call us to configure the GGB Picoprobe to your exact needs.
The GGB Industries Model 67A microwave Picoprobe gives an insertion loss of less than 1.1 db and a return loss of greater than 14 db through 67 GHz. With its individually spring loaded Beryllium-Copper or optional Tungsten tips, the Model 67A provides reliable contacts, even when probing non-planar structures. Available in any pitch (tip spacing) from 50 to 1250 microns. The probe can be configured with Ground-Signal-Ground (G,S,G), Ground-Signal (G,S), or Signal-Ground (S,G) tip footprints.
Please call us to configure the GGB 67A Picoprobe to your exact need, configuration, pitch and mounting style.
The GGB Industries range of MULTI-CONTACT WEDGE are designed to your individual test needs. This allows flexibility because it is custom configured to your circuit. Four Wedges can be used at the same time to probe a complete chip in a North-South, East-West configuration.
The Picoprobe Model 35 has been engineered to meet the stringent demands of advanced high frequency circuit designers. DC-26GHz with input capacitance of 0.05pF.
