A probe whose characteristic impedance can be accurately adjusted to a desired value with the production of a small number of prototypes. The probe includes a first line with a signal terminal to be connected to a signal electrode of a circuit to be measured and at least one first region connected to the signal terminal and to which one end of a chip capacitor is connected, a second line connected to a terminal of the first line and a junction to be connected to a measuring instrument at the remaining terminal, and an impedance matched to a characteristic impedance of the measuring instrument, a ground connector with a ground terminal to be connected to the ground electrode of the circuit to be measured, and at least one second region connected to the ground terminal and on which the remaining terminal of the chip capacitor is mounted in one-to-one correspondence with the first region. The impedance of the probe viewed from the circuit to be measured is provided by the chip capacitor mounted at specified positions within the first region and the second region.
