The TekBox TBSCP1-10M500 is an RF surface current monitoring probe designed to measure RF currents flowing on surfaces such as PCB ground planes or traces, metal planes, or wires. The probe has a very flat response from 10MHz to 500MHz and is characterized over the frequency range from 9kHz to 600MHz. The footprint of the RF current monitoring probe measures 40mm x 15mm. The transfer impedance is -5 dB Ohm with a typical 3dB bandwidth from 10MHz to 500MHz.
Calibration
Place the probe on top of a 50 Ohm microstrip line, terminated with 50 Ohm. Connect the microstrip line to port 1 of a VNA and connect port 2 to the SMA connector of the probe. Measure S21 and add 34 dB to get the trans-impedance in dB Ohm.
