Probe Measurement & Simulation

|
|
One of the key areas of close attention is the RF parameters of every
electrical interconnect we provide. Setup shown below is used to obtain
the Probe Pin performance and RF parameters.
|
|
|
Measurements are conducted using PNA-L N5230L 20GHz and probe pins are
placed in a Characterization Jig on Cascade Micro-Probing Station.
All the pins are tested strictly under the Real Test Conditions (RTC)
in order to minimize any redundant data. Collected data is analyzed for
Bandwidth and RF Performance.

Testing is performed with setup consisting of socket populated with Probe
Pins. At each end, Pins are terminated using PCB Board designed
specifically for such test. Each probe then measures the equivalent
S parameter of the Pins at the point whereby there is a contact.
RF Parameters that can be obtained through this measurement method are
namely Return Loss (S11 and S22) and Insertion Loss.
For other Parameters that need to be obtained, different jigs and
configurations are used.
