Patent ID: 8854071

Claim:
A test prod for high-frequency measurement including: a contact-side end for electrically contacting planar structures and a cable-side end for connecting to a cable; a coplanar conductor structure, arranged between the contact-side end and the cable-side end, having at least two conductors; a dielectric on the coplanar structure, supporting the coplanar conductor structure, arranged over a predetermined section between the cable-side end and the contact-side end, one-sided or both-sided, wherein the test prod is designed between the dielectric and the contact-side end such that the conductors of the coplanar conductor structure are arranged freely in space and relative to the supporting dielectric in a suspending manner; a flexible shielding element arranged on one side of the test prod that faces towards the planar structure when said test prod contacts said planar structure, and designed such that the shielding element extends into the area of the coplanar conductor structure which is arranged freely in space and relative to the supporting dielectric in a suspending manner between the dielectric and the contact-side end; wherein the test prod possesses a housing made of an electrically conductive material; and wherein the shielding element is electrically connected with the housing.
