Abstract: A thermal management system for a test-and-measurement probe that includes a thermally insulated shroud and a fluid inlet conduit. The shroud is configured to enclose a first portion of a probe head of the probe within an interior cavity of the shroud, while permitting a second portion of the probe head to extend out of the shroud. The shroud further includes a fluid outlet passageway configured to permit a heat-transfer fluid to pass from a probe-head end of the interior cavity, through the interior cavity of the shroud, and out of the shroud through an access portion of the shroud. The fluid inlet conduit enters the shroud through the access portion of the shroud, extends through the interior cavity of the shroud, and is configured to introduce the heat-transfer fluid to the probe-head end of the interior cavity.

Abstract: A probe tip for an isolated probe having a triaxial cable has a conductive probe tip interface at one end of the cable, a signal conductor, the signal conductor traversing a length of the cable and electrically connected to the conductive probe tip interface, a reference conductor surrounding the signal conductor along the length of the cable, a shield conductor surrounding the reference conductor at least along the length of the cable, the shield conductor and the reference conductor electrically connected at ends of the probe tip, a first insulator between the signal conductor and the reference conductor along the length of the cable, a second insulator between the reference conductor and the shield conductor along the length of the cable, and high magnetic permeability material inside the shield conductor. A method of manufacturing a tip for an isolated probe having a triaxial cable includes accessing a shield conductor of the triaxial cable, inserting a high magnetic permeability material between the shield conductor and a reference conductor in the triaxial cable, electrically connecting the shield conductor to the reference conductor. A triaxial cable has a signal conductor, the signal conductor traversing a length of the cable, a reference conductor surrounding the signal conductor along the length of the cable, a shield conductor surrounding the reference conductor along the length of the cable, the shield conductor and the reference conductor electrically connected at ends of the cable, a first insulator between the signal conductor and the reference conductor along the length of the cable, a second insulator between the reference conductor and the shield conductor along the length of the cable, and high magnetic permeability material inside the shield conductor.

Abstract: A cable assembly has a connector to receive a signal, a cable connected to the connector, the cable having a length and one or more conductors along at least part of the length to conduct the signal, a magnetic material external to the one or more conductors, and an elastomer material external to the one or more conductors. A cable assembly has a connector to receive a differential signal, a cable connected to the connector having symmetric pair conductors, one or more discrete magnetic components spaced along the length of the cable, and one or more elastomer components next to at least one of the one or more magnetic components. A cable assembly has a connector to receive a differential signal, a cable connected to the connector having symmetric pair conductors, an elastomer material at least partially enclosing the cable, and a magnetic material at least partially enclosing the cable.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an improved cable assembly for connecting an electrical test and measurement probe to a device under test. One end of the probe is connected to a device under test (“DUT”), while the other end is connected to the instrument through one or more cables. To prevent mechanical stresses to the probe-DUT interface caused by the cables' resistance to bending and twisting, embodiments of the improved cable assembly use one or more pliable spines to hold the cable assembly in position after it has been bent or twisted. This provides a more secure connection to the DUT and prevents damage to the probe-DUT interface. Each spine is anchored to the tip of the probe, and may be further secured by an outer housing or additional anchors. A flexible boot may surround the cable assembly and/or outer housing, further protecting the cables from damage. Alternatively, one or more spines may be placed inside the boot.

Abstract translation: 本发明的实施例提供了一种用于将电测试和测量探针连接到被测器件的改进的电缆组件。 探头的一端连接到被测设备（“DUT”），而另一端通过一根或多根电缆连接到仪器。 为了防止由电缆抵抗弯曲和扭转而引起的探针 - DUT接口的机械应力，改进的电缆组件的实施例使用一个或多个柔性棘爪在电缆组件弯曲或扭曲之后将其固定就位。 这提供了与DUT的更安全的连接，并防止损坏探头 - DUT接口。 每个脊柱都固定在探针的尖端上，并且可以通过外壳或附加的锚固件进一步固定。 柔性靴可围绕电缆组件和/或外壳，进一步保护电缆免受损坏。 或者，可以在靴子内放置一个或多个刺。
