ABSTRACT:
A high-frequency probe comprising a semirigid coaxial line which terminates in an active circuit assembly. The coaxial line's outer conductor is connected to a box while its inner conductor is connected to an active circuit chip. A signal contact needle is attached to the active circuit chip and extends linearly with the coaxial line. The signal needle is held in place with a mass of epoxy filled with silica microballoons, providing a low-capacitance mount.
A ground contact needle is connected to a wiper which contacts the box, thus providing a direct, and short, path between the coaxial line's outer conductor and the ground contact needle.
