Overview
The FCC F-61 current monitor probe is for laboratory and field testing. It is ideally suited for measuring small currents from 10MHz – 1 GHz. This probe has a small outer diameter, approx. 71mm with an internal diameter of 32mm. Its transfer impedance is 16Ω from 70 MHz to 1 GHz. It can an operate up to 200 amperes of DC – 400Hz, 20 amperes of CW and 50 amperes of peak pulse.
The Current Monitoring probes may be used whenever RF current measurements are required. Current measurements are made by placing a current carrying conductor within the “sensing” window of the probe and measuring the probe’s output voltage with an RF detector. Calibration of the probe permits the conversion of the voltages measured to current. Current measurements can be made over the frequency range shown in the transfer impedance curve furnished with each probe. There is virtually no loading of the circuit and the technique permits normal operation of the device under test during measurements.
