Robust RF Test on PCB and Ceramic

• Replace costly and inflexible test fixtures with easy-to-use probe tips
• Long lifetime – typically over 1,000,000 contacts
• GS/SG footprint up to 4 GHz and GSG up to 20 GHz
• High-power RF test: up to 30 Watts
• Test at temperatures from -60°C to 200°C

High power, High performance probe

• High power – 66 W at 2.4 GHz and 43 W at 5 GHz
• Extremely low insertion loss of ≤ 0.4 dB (typical) up to 40 GHz
• Excellent contact control and low contact resistance
• High performance on any pad material (Al or Au)
• Longest lifetime – typically one million (1,000,000) touchdowns

Excellent Performance – Longest Lifetime

• Best price per contact – typically over one million (1,000,000) touchdowns
• RF/Microwave signal is shielded and completely air isolated in the probe body
• Excellent performance in vacuum environments and temperatures as low as 4 K, or as high as 300°C
• Highest impedance control with perfectly-symmetrical, MEMS-machined coplanar contact structure
• Probe on any pad material with minimal damage

• Highest accuracy in test results
• Easy setup even for less experienced users
• Minimized coupling losses with minimal trench dimensions
• Exclusive FormFactor-developed automated test methodology
• Wide range of tools for capturing, logging and interpreting data
• Enables hands-free autonomous calibration and re-calibration at multiple temperatures
• Search First Light feature enables automated determination of initial position for optimization
• Once aligned, all calibration functions are automated and performed through SiPh-Tool
