RF probe for up to 12 GHz

5 October 2016 Test & Measurement

The German test equipment manufacturer Ingun has developed the new radio frequency (RF) probe HFS-856 for contacting switch-connectors (MM8030, MM8430, MS-156 and MS-180) and also miniature plug connectors (U.FL).

During the contacting process the outer conductor is contacted first, whereupon it then aligns optimally on the connector due to its floating mounting and ultimately makes contact to the signal conductor. Using the new design, frequencies up to 12 GHz can be transferred.

Assembly is carried out by means of a flange with a centring bolt and two screws. The HFS-856 is connected via an SMA plug.
