Abstract: The current active probe, whose detection frequency is mainly concentrated in the low frequency band, cant meet the detection requirements of the high frequency band. Therefore, a small, high-bandwidth, non-contact active magnetic field probe was proposed. The active magnetic field probe is made of a multilayer printed circuit board (PCB). An active amplifier module and its supporting power management chip were added to the passive probe to improve the transmission gain of the ultra-wideband type probe. The probe was tested and analyzed from four aspects: frequency response, spatial resolution, calibration factor, and differential electric field suppression capability. The results show that the designed probe has a transmission gain of -20dB, a spatial resolution of 900μm, and is of good differential electric field suppression. The probe can be used for ultra-wideband PCB board and more complex integrated circuit measurements.
