GGB Picoprobe Model 120 High Performance Microwave Probe
The GGB Industries Model 120 microwave Picoprobe gives a typical insertion loss of 1.75dB and a return loss of 15dB through 120GHz. With its individually spring loaded Beryllium-Copper or optional Tungsten tips, the Model 120 provides reliable contacts, even when probing non-planar structures. Available in any pitch (tip spacing) from 50 to 450 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 need.
The GGB Industries Model 120 Picoprobe also provides direct viewing of the probe tips for accurate positioning. 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
- 75GHz to 120GHz / WR-10 waveguide input
- Insertion loss less than 1.75dB
- Return loss 15dB max
- Measurement repeatability -50dB
- Individually spring loaded contacts
- BeCu or Tungsten tips available
- Any pitch from 50 to 450 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.
