  • WaveLink 1160 RF Probe Station
    The WL-1160 probe stations are simple, rugged, and economically priced systems that are specially configured for RF/Microwave probing applications. The large platen is well suited to the large microwave type micropositioners. The independent calibration chuck will accept one of several calibration substrates. Wafer chucks are available in 4", 6" and 8". The systems can be fitted with either high powered optics for probing small geometries or lower powered optics for probing larger geometries. The WL-1160 will accept microwave micropositioners with either magnetic, vacuum, or mechanically mounted bases. The S-1160 series probe stations have a proven track record for reliability and functionality at an attractive price.

    S-96MW Micropositioner

    S-96MW Microwave Micropositioner


    The S-96MW micropositioner is designed for RF probing. The positioner has one inch movements in all axes and captured cross-roller bearings to prevent accidentally moving the tip if bumped. An integral co-planarity adjustment provides for adjusting G-S-G tip planarity. S-96MW positioners are available with head configurations allowing the microwave head to be introduced from the front, rear, left or right side. The S-96MW is the most stable RF positioner available.

    DC Probes for use with Microwave Probing Systems

    Click here to download the SCA_probe.pdf [68K] PDF brochure

    Coaxial Probes are designed for low-level signal probing to less than 10fA. The probe's single unit design is especially desirable for the best possible electrical characteristics The Coaxial Probe is also offered with optional Ground Plane, Kelvin and resister series /parallel configurations. Contact factory for further specifications available for your particular application.

    CONSTRUCTION
    The Probes are constructed of microwave-quality components. The 50 Ohm semi-rigid cable consists of 8 mil tungsten wire forming the inner conductor and probe point, with isolation from the gold plated copper shield being achieved through the utilization a Teflon dielectric. The probe contact protrudes from the shielding by .150" to maintain low-level signal noise to the probe.

    The connector is an industry standard SSMC, mounted in a brass mounting shank where it is attached to the coax.
