Need a Really High Frequency Probe Holder?

One look at our website and you will see that Micromanipulator offers high frequency probe holders for ranges greater than 3 GHz (or microwave) as well as low for capacitive loading or high input impedance.  As a distributor of the Picoprobe® series, our selection of probe holders include the Model PP40A that offers a frequency range of DC to 40GHz right through to the highest frequency range of 220GHz to 325GHz available from the Model PP325 WR3.  All of our microwave probe heads require the WAVE100 or WAVE200 RF/Microwave style manipulator along with the use of the appropriate probe link arms (PLS or PLF) and cables. 

One of our popular models is the PP120 WR10 that offers a high frequency range from 75 to 100 GHz.  Specifications include an insertion loss of 1.75 db max (75 to 110 GHz) and a return loss of 15 db max (75 to 110 GHz).  The measurement repeatability is 50 db and is available with or without a bias T.    

Another option is our PP220 WR5 that has a frequency range from 140 to 220GHz.  The probe holder has an insertion loss of 2.0 dB typ and a return loss of 15 dB typ.  It too is available with or without the bias T.   

If you just require a DC to 3 GHz range, we recommend you consider our popular fixed-tip and economical Model 44RF that is perfect for the most common microwave tests.  The probe holder has been designed for testing ground and signal contacts on high frequency hybrid and integrated circuits.  With Kelvin force and sense and single wire configurations, the Model 44 is available at our online store.  For more information regarding our very high frequency probe holders, please visit our website to take a look at our Probe Tip and Probe Holder Reference Manual or give one of our engineers a call.
