Abstract
A microstrip probe includes a microstrip transmission line constructed from a dielectric substrate having a conductive microstrip thereon. The substrate is carried by a carrier which forms the ground plane for the microstrip transmission line. A retractable ground pin projects outwardly from the forward edge of the carrier and also extends past the forward edge of the substrate.
Claims8
A microstrip probe comprising:
- a generally planar dielectric substrate having a first edge, a second edge, an upper surface and a lower surface;
- a conductive microstrip disposed on said first surface and extending between said first edge and said second edge;
- a substrate carrier being substantially coextensive with said substrate and having a forward edge and at least one planar surface in a facing relationship to said second surface of said substrate, said planar surface being a ground plane, said forward edge being recessed from said first edge;
- and
- a retractable ground pin projecting outwardly from said forward edge of said substrate carrier and extending past said first edge of said substrate, said pin and said conductive microstrip being generally parallel at said first edge.
