Abstract
A high-frequency testing probe with a probe substrate and at least two probe tips. The probe substrate is a printed circuit board and the probe tips are coupled to and extend away from the printed circuit board. The first and second probe tips are each communicatively coupled to respective first and second probe connectors through respective first and second conducting traces disposed upon respective first and second sides of the printed circuit board. The probe connectors are configured to couple the testing probe to at least one of a high-frequency vector network analyzer and a high-frequency time domain reflectometer. The positions of the first ends of the first and second probe tips are adjustable. The first and second probe tips may be coupled to the first and second conducting traces through respective first and second joints, and may be configured to rotate about the first and second joints.
