Patent ID: 7332923

Claim:
Test probe for executing high-frequency measurements of electronic circuits comprising: a coaxial high-frequency wave guide comprising an inner conductor and an outer conductor, the inner conductor adapted to transmit a primary electrical potential and the outer conductor adapted to transmit a secondary electrical potential, a support structure connected to at least the outer conductor; and at least two contact elements conductively connected to the support structure, the at least two contact elements adapted to contact an electronic circuit to be tested, wherein the support structure is provided with conductive paths for transmission of a high-frequency signal from the inner conductor to a first of the at least two contact elements and a high-frequency ground potential from the outer conductor to a second of the at least two contact elements, and wherein the support structure comprises at least one U-shaped cut-out having a base and two sides, wherein the sides of the U-shaped cut-out are connected to the outer conductor, and the U-shaped cut-out further comprises a recess in the base and a width of the recess is less than a width of the base of the U-shaped cut-out.
