Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a radio frequency (RF) functional probe for testing an RF device in a cryogenic environment. The RF functional probe includes a probe head configured to receive the RF device, a flange structure, an isolation structure coupled between the probe head and the flange structure, and an RF cable structure extending from the flange structure, through the isolation structure, and to the probe head. The isolation structure is configured to provide thermal and electrical isolation to reduce radiant heat leak from the RF cable structure to the RF device. Herein, the isolation structure includes multiple baffle structures, each of which includes cable guides. The cable guides of each baffle structure are configured to guide routing paths for the RF cable structure. The RF cable structure is configured to transmit signals to and from the RF device.
