ICEy TDS E-field Probes: E1TDSx, E1TDSz

TDS E-field probes are miniaturized active optical electrical-field probes for use in free-space media (ε_r = 1).

For ICEy applications, each TDS time-domain field probe is delivered with a 10 cm connector saver and ICEy machine adapter, enabling >25,000 mating cycles per probe. All SPEAG TDS probes have been optimized for field measurements over the 10 MHz – 6 GHz frequency range and are individually calibrated and characterized in SPEAG’s calibration laboratory.
