FormFactor - Cascade DC-Q Probe - Multi-contact DC probe with flat tip needles
-
Power bypass inductance: 8 nH
-
Standard DCQ probes have flat tip needles available in nickel-plated tungsten or BeCu with diameters of 0.75 mil, 1.0 mil and 1.5 mil.
-
Supports collinear and non-standard needle configurations
-
Up to 16 DC for standard; maximum of 24 DC for custom
-
Ideal for probing the entire circuit for functional test
-
DC probes can provide power or slow logic to circuit under test
The DCQ probes use controlled impedance, ceramic blade needles for low noise and high performance. This needle style allows the placement of high-quality bypass capacitors with very little series inductance due to their close proximity to the probe tip. All of the needles are connected to a common ground plane but individual needles can be easily (ground) isolated for additional low noise performance. A maximum of 16 needles are available for standard configurations and a maximum of 24 needles for custom configurations.

More Product Information
Focus Microwaves’ DELTA series of electro-mechanical tuners is designed specifically for high frequency on wafer measurements. The tuner’s low profile allows it to be placed within the wafer perimeter and allows for a direct connection between the probe tip and the tuner, eliminating all possible insertion loss between the DUT and the tuner. This revolutionary new tuner design enables the engineer to achieve optimum tuning range, with a tuner whose footprint and weight has been dramatically reduced.

The low frequency tuners are a unique product technology using MPT algorithms for low frequency wideband tuning. Three or more cascaded tuning sections use series transmission cables and parallel rotary capacitors.
The length of the cables and number of tuning sections are optimized for maximum tuning range over a given bandwidth. HLFT tuners use 6 tuning sections allowing second harmonic frequency tuning.
Transmission line probes are a special type of passive probe designed for use at very high frequencies. They replace the high impedance probe cable found in a traditional passive probe with a precision transmission line, with a characteristic impedance that matches the oscilloscope input (50 Ohm). This greatly reduces the input capacitance to a fraction of a picofarad, minimizing the loading of high frequency signals. A matching network at the tip increases the DC input resistance. While they have lower DC input resistance than a traditional passive probe (usually 500 Ohm) to 1kOhm), the input impedance of these probes remains nearly constant over their entire frequency range. A traditional /10 passive probe will have a 10 MOhm) input impedance at DC, however this impedance drops rapidly with frequency, passing below the input impedance of a transmission line probe at less than 100 MHz.
