Patent ID: 7518385

Claim:
A probing apparatus for probing an electrical signal, comprising: a housing having a top section and a bottom section, each of the top and bottom sections further comprising a distal portion, a medial portion, a proximal portion and a connecting portion; a first transmission line positioned within the top section of the housing, the transmission line being further positioned within the proximal portion and the connecting portion of the top section of the housing; a second transmission line positioned within the bottom section of the housing,the transmission line being further positioned within the proximal portion and the connecting portion of the bottom section of the housing; a first input pin having a first inductance associated therewith; a first resistor coupling the first input pin with the first transmission line; a first capacitor coupling the first transmission line with an outer wall of the proximal portion of the top section of the housing; a second capacitor coupling the first transmission line with the medial portion of the top section of the housing; a second resistor coupling the proximal and distal portions of the top section of the housing; a second input pin having a second inductance associated therewith; a third resistor coupling the second input pin with the second transmission line; a third capacitor coupling the second transmission line with an outer wall of the proximal portion of the bottom section of the housing; a fourth capacitor coupling the second transmission line with the medial portion of the bottom section of the housing; and a fourth resistor coupling the proximal and distal portions of the bottom section of the housing.
