Cascade Microtech : Choosing the Right Engineering Probe for the Application Need at Hand

There are numerous engineering probes on the market to suit any number of application needs. From device characterization and modeling applications to signal integrity applications on IC packages and circuit board work, different applications meet different needs. We offer a wide selection of engineering probes to meet the highly demanding and broad range of on-wafer and signal integrity applications. Cascade Microtech's families of RF, mixed-signal and DC probes are designed to meet the many challenges of the various probing environments and provide a durable, high-performance product that exceeds expectations.

Some of the probes we offer include:

• Single and dual RF/Microwave Probes (coaxial and waveguide) - These include our Infinity® Probes, T-Wave® Probes, Air Coplanar Probes (ACP), and |Z| Probes.
• RFIC and functional test (multi-contact) probes - When it comes to Multi-contact RF Probes, we have our InfinityQuad™ Probes, Unity Probes™, ACP quadrant probes, and Multi|Z| Probes. For Multi-contact DC Probes, we offer Eye-Pass® Probes, DCQ Probes, and WPH Probes.
• Board test and signal integrity probes - This would be our Fixed-pitch compliant probes (FPC) and in some cases ACP Probes
• Special purpose RF/Microwave probes - This need includes Impedance matching probes, high-performance quadrant probes, and cryogenic probes.
