Radio frequency test probe with integral mount for circuit board under test

摘要

A radio frequency (RF) test probe arrangement includes a test probe body with a probe for coupling with a RF port of a circuit to be tested, wherein the port has a RF terminal and a ground conductor in the vicinity of the RF terminal to define an operating impedance at the RF port. The probe includes an RF contact supported by the probe body for electrically contacting the RF terminal of the RF port of the circuit to be tested, and a ground contact fixed on the probe body in the vicinity of the RF contact, for electrically contacting the ground conductor at the RF port. A connector mounted on the probe body couples the probe with external test measurement instrumentation.
