The electrode on the lower edge of the probe head of the RF-E 10 is approx. 0.2 mm wide. This allows the smallest E-field sources to be localized, e.g. 0.1 mm wide conductor runs, individual IC pins on high-pole ICs.
The RF-E 10 is a passive near-field probe. It has the same basic design as the RF-E 05 and RF-E 02 probes, but the resolution of the RF-E 10 is significantly higher. Typically, the probe head is placed directly on the measurement object (high electric field strength). It is not suitable for measurements at greater distances such as those carried out with the RF-E 05 and RF-E 02. The E-field probe is small and easy to handle. It has a sheath current attenuation and the top of the probe head is electrically shielded. The near-field probe is connected to a spectrum analyzer or an oscilloscope with a 50 Ω input. The E-field probe does not have an internal 50 Ω terminating resistor.
