Abstract
A high frequency test prod for electrically contacting at least one contact point of a specimen, using an HF coaxial line to connect the test prod housing and the contact unit electrically and mechanically between the housing and the contact unit, the HF coaxial line having an external conductor, an internal conductor arranged coaxially to the external conductor, and a gas or vacuum dielectric arranged between the external conductor and internal conductor, the external conductor designed as a hollow profile section from a rigid, elastically deformable material, wherein the internal conductor is arranged coaxially to the hollow profile section.
Claims8
A high frequency (HF) test prod comprising:
- a housing;
- a contact unit for electrically contacting at least one contact point of a specimen;
- an HF coaxial line connecting the housing and the contact unit electrically and mechanically, the HF coaxial line arranged between said housing and said contact unit, said HF coaxial line including:
- an external conductor;
- an internal conductor coaxial with the external conductor;
- and
- a dielectric comprising a gas or vacuum between the external conductor and internal conductor;
- said external conductor comprising a hollow profile section in the form of an elastically deformable tube from a rigid material performing a spring function for contacting of the test prod, the spring function generating a predetermined and repeatable contact pressure between the at least one contact point and the contact unit, wherein the internal conductor is arranged coaxially to said hollow profile section, the internal conductor being arranged self-supportingly within the hollow profile section over at least one predetermined section of the hollow profile section.
