Vinstronics Advantage: Our LYRA™ and AQUILA™ series RF probes are engineered for up to 110 GHz signal integrity, featuring proprietary AurumStay™ anti-gold-accumulation technology for a validated life of ≥1,000,000 touchdowns.
GS Probe: The Versatile Single-Ended Solution
The GS (Ground-Signal) probe is straightforward: one ground, one signal. It’s your go-to for simple tests where you’re not dealing with complex signals. Vinstronics GS series probes deliver high-fidelity characterization up to 67 GHz, bridging the gap between robust PCB validation and precision wafer testing.
Where It Excels:- Basic testing tasks and low-frequency circuit checks
- PCB and board-level characterization with LYRA™ series (25/50 μm tips)

GSG Probe: The High-Isolation Standard
The GSG (Ground-Signal-Ground) probe takes the GS a step further with an extra ground on either side of the signal. This configuration is a favorite for high-frequency tests because it keeps signals isolated from interference. Our GSG probes provide a highly controlled 50 Ω environment to minimize parasitic effects up to 110 GHz.
Where It Excels:- High-frequency testing where signals need to stay clean
- Precision W-band measurements for 6G and mmWave R&D

GSSG & GSGSG Probe: Mastery in Differential Integrity
The GSSG (Ground-Signal-Signal-Ground) probe is designed for differential signals, while the GSGSG (Ground-Signal-Ground-Signal-Ground) offers superior port isolation. Both are engineered for a stable 100 Ω differential impedance, making them essential for advanced 6G, SerDes testing, and balanced circuit analysis.
Where It Excels:- Testing differential signals and high-speed data transmission
- Minimizing skew and phase error in multi-signal characterization

FAQs
Q: What makes GSG probes better for high-frequency testing?
A: GSG probes offer superior signal isolation due to the ground-signal-ground configuration, which minimizes interference and crosstalk. At Vinstronics, our GSG probes are optimized for 50 Ω characteristic stability up to 110 GHz.
Q: How does AurumStay™ technology affect probe life?
A: Proprietary AurumStay™ anti-gold-accumulation technology ensures stable contact resistance over time, allowing our probes to achieve a lifespan of ≥1,000,000 touchdowns, significantly reducing maintenance downtime.
Q: How do I know if I need the AQUILA™ or LYRA™ series?
A: Selection is defined by your pad size. The LYRA™ series (25/50 μm tips) is optimized for PCB validation, while the AQUILA™ series (10 μm tips) is specialized for precision wafer-level sorting on micro-scale pads.
Q: Are these probes only for wafer testing?
A: No, their applications extend to other high-frequency measurement scenarios like high-speed PCB validation and quantum system interconnects, making them versatile in RF testing.
