ABSTRACT:
A low inductance ground lead for grounding a signal probe used in high frequency measurement to a ground probe. A ground lead comprises a single flexible strand or multiple strands which are substantially untwisted with respect to one another. Preferably, the strands have a rectangular cross-section and a relatively large surface area for a given cross-sectional area. Substantially noninductive connections for connecting one end of said ground lead to the signal probe and the other end of said ground lead to the ground probe are provided, so as to bypass the self-inductance of the signal probe and the ground probe.
