The SQG series

Handsfree probes from 1.5 to 6 GHz

PCBite has always been about letting go of the probe. With the SQG series we take that idea into gigahertz territory: a new family of high-frequency probes that stay on the test point by themselves, so RF and high-speed measurements become repeatable instead of a steady-hand exercise.

The series comes in three bandwidths, 1.5, 3 and 6 GHz, each in an AC-coupled and a DC-coupled version. All six are 10:1 passive, low impedance probes for instruments with a 50 Ω input.

Six probes

  • SQG15-AC and SQG15-DC, 1.5 GHz, with a BNC connector
  • SQG30-AC and SQG30-DC, 3 GHz, with an SMA connector
  • SQG60-AC and SQG60-DC, 6 GHz, with an SMA connector, for data lanes up to 12 Gbps

AC or DC? The AC versions block up to 50 V DC, so the probe neither sources nor sinks current at the test point and the bias of the circuit stays where it is: the choice for small signals riding on a DC level. The DC versions measure from 0 Hz, so the true DC level is shown together with the edges.

Accessories made for the series

  • Dual ground spring needles, 3.5 and 5.0 mm, for a short, symmetrical ground return at the full bandwidth
  • Ground springs, 3.5 mm, for ground points further from the signal
  • Spring-loaded probe tip needles, replaced in the probe on the spot

We show the SQG series for the first time at electronica 2024 in Munich. See the whole family under High Frequency Probes.
