Essential Steps for Practical Bead Probe Implementation

Essential Steps for Practical Bead Probe Implementation

Application Notes

Introduction

This document summarizes the implementation of bead probes for your manufacturing.

 

This document refers to the following documents and is not a replacement for these documents. The procedures described in this document should apply to bead probe implementation in general. For more details and completeness, please read the following documents.

 

1. Bead Probe Handbook

  • The Bead Probe Handbook describes the theory, formulas of bead probes, and experiments implemented to check for the consistency of probing the bead, the impedance, and the effect of the bead on the trace during high-frequency applications.

 

2. The following white papers describe details on the application of bead probes in an actual production environment.
