Neven, We have a Model 35 probe, however, I have never used it. I will forward this message to someone in our group that has used the Model 35. ...but I can tell you this, with regard to you concerns about not having a reference point on the probe. We also have Model 34 probes (100fF, 10Mohm, 3.5GHz) and they also only use a single point. I had the same concerns before I used the Model 34 and I can tell you that they work great. The probe does have a grounding strap that you can connect to ground as close as possible to the chip. john npischl wrote: > Hello, > > Is anyone on the list using GGB Industries' active probes e.g. > > www.ggb.com/35.html ? > > For this Model 35 probe, they claim DC-26 GHz response with 1.25 > MOhm nominal resistance in parallel with 0.05 pF. > > They also claim that the probe uses single-point probe tip only (no > reference point)!!
