Current Probe FAQ's

As part of our commitment to provide you with information that adds value to your work, A.H. Systems is continuously producing articles and application notes on specific uses of our products. Our complete library of technical articles and application notes is available below for public use as an open reference for the RF engineering community. If you need information on a topic you don’t see here or you require additional technical support, we can help. Contact support to talk with one of our engineers for answers.

Common Questions

A current probe is used to inject or monitor currents on a conductor passing through its aperture. Our article “Understanding and Implementing RF Current Probes” gives a further explanation of the basics of current probes and their parameters.

The BCP series probes are used to monitor (receive) currents passing through its aperture. The ICP series is used to Inject (transmit) currents onto the conductor(s) passing through its aperture.

Most monitoring probes are limited in power capabilities by the passive internal resistive networks that are used to improve the flatness and therefor would not be useful as an injection probe..

No dummy, it’s shielded. Next question.
