Radio Frequency (RF) High Performance Probe Positioners

Cascade's RF positioners, designed for use on the Summit 11k/12k and S300 platforms, have sliding fixed mounts and a bolt down base for accurate placement. They have micron level accuracy for fine tuned planarity adjustment. They provide the ultra-precise control needed for submicron probing. With the series’ orthogonal probe holder, you can set up the micropositioner to have consistent orthogonal movement in relation to the streets or rows of the device being probed. The probe holders are optimized for use with Cascade Microtech RF and Microwave probes and cables. Positioners are offered in West, East/West, and North/South versions in order to allow for 2 port, 3 port, and 4 port RF/Microwave configurations.
