Abstract:
1. A probe comprising: (a) a flexible membrane; (b) an elongate conductor suitable to be electrically interconnected to a test signal supported by a first side of said membrane; (c) a conductive member suitable to be electrically interconnected to a ground signal supported by a second side of said membrane wherein said conductive member is under a majority of the length of said elongate conductor; (d) a conductive path between said first side of said membrane and said second side of said membrane in a manner free from an air gap between the conductive path and the end of said membrane for at least a majority of the thickness of said membrane and said electrically connected to the elongate conductor and free from electrical interconnection with said conductive member; and (e) a contact electrically interconnected to said conductive path for testing a device under test.
