Combination of DC and RF in a single probe module: One dual probe or a maximum of three RF; a maximum of 9 DC standard (other quantities upon request).
-
Utilizes ACP tip design, GSG, GS or SG
-
RF tips available from DC to 110 GHz
-
Choice of BeCu or tungsten tips
-
DC power needles come standard with 100 pF microwave capacitor
-
Power bypass inductance: 8 nH
-
Maximum DC voltage: 50 V without power bypassing (25 V with standard power bypassing, and component dependent with custom power bypassing)

-
Dual ACP configuration supports differential signaling applications
-
DC probes can provide power or slow logic to circuit under test
Quadrant Probes were developed in response to the need for multiple probe tips in a single module. Configurations consist of all RF or a combination of RF and DC. The RF probes use Air Coplanar technology to produce a rugged microwave probe with a compliant tip for accurate, repeatable measurements on-wafer. The DC probes use ceramic blade needles for low noise and high performance. The ACP Quadrant Probes are customizable to fit your specific needs.
