An electrical characterization and fault isolation probe can include a cable, a connector, and a coating over a portion of the cable. The cable can have a first conductor having a first impedance, a second conductor having a second impedance, and a dielectric surrounding the first conductor and electrically isolating the first conductor from the second conductor. The connector can physically couple to, and be in electrical communication with, the cable. The connector can include a first electrical communication pathway and a second electrical communication pathway. The first electrical communication pathway can be electrically isolated from the second electrical communication pathway. The first electrical communication pathway can be in electrical communication with the first conductor. The second electrical communication pathway can be in electrical communication with the second conductor. The connector can have a fifth impedance.

Integrated cable probe design for high bandwidth RF testing

An apparatus comprises a signal generator circuit, a test probe, a signal sensor circuit, and a defect detection circuit. The signal generator circuit is configured to generate an impulse test signal having an impulse waveform and adjust a bandwidth of the impulse test signal. The test probe is electrically coupled to the signal generator circuit and configured to apply the impulse test signal to a device under test (DUT). The signal sensor circuit is configured to sense a conducted test signal produced by applying the impulse test signal to the DUT with the test probe. The defect detection circuit is configured to generate an indication of a defect in the DUT using the conducted test signal.
