Established in 2004, Beehive Electronics are well known experts in design and manufacturing high-performance EMC Near Field Probes and instrumentation for RF electronics.
All their products are built and tested in the USA and their yellow 100 Series EMC Probes are a popular choice and common sight on engineers’ desks around the world.
EMC testing is an unavoidable part of the development cycle for electronic products. As clock frequencies continue to increase, radiated emissions get harder to control. In an ideal world, the R&D engineer would test the emissions from his product early in the design stage and retest frequently as design changes were made, just as he tests whether his product meets its other design requirements.
The 100A is a small, handheld magnetic field probe ideal for locating the sources of EMC emissions.
Its integrated electrostatic shield offers good common-mode rejection, and its fine spatial resolution make it easy to track a source of emissions down to the offending component.
Dimensions:
Tip Diameter 0.5in (12.7mm) Loop Diameter 0.4 (10.1mm) Length, excluding connector: 6.35inch (161mm) Probe tip thickness: 0.11inch (2.8mm) 50 ohm
The Beehive Electronics 100B is a small, handheld magnetic field probe ideal for locating the sources of EMC emissions. Its integrated electrostatic shield offers good common-mode rejection, and its fine spatial resolution make it easy to track a source of emissions down to the offending component.
An integrated electrostatic shield in the loop probes eliminates common-mode pickup
Multiple loop sizes offer optimum sensitivity and spatial resolution at different frequencies
Probe dimensions optimized for access to tight spaces
Calibrated sensitivity up to 3 GHz, depending on model. Usable to beyond 6 GHz
Can be driven by a signal source to generate fields for electromagnetic susceptibility testing
The 100C is a small, handheld magnetic field probe ideal for locating the sources of EMC emissions.
Its integrated electrostatic shield offers good common-mode rejection, and its fine spatial resolution make it easy to track a source of emissions down to the offending component.
Dimensions:
Tip Diameter 1.0 (25.4mm) Loop Diameter 0.85 (21.6mm) Length, excluding connector: 6.35inch (161mm) Probe tip thickness: 0.11inch (2.8mm) 50 ohm

The 100 series EMC probes are designed for identifying and fixing EMC problems from DC to 6GHz. The 101A EMC Probe Kit contains one each of the popular magnetic field EMC near field probes and the Beehive 112A SMB to Type-N cable required to connect the probes to the N-Type connector of your spectrum analyser and offers an overall saving of 5%.
Each probe has SMB (Male) connector to allow slight rotation to stop the cable kinking whilst in use.
Optional 30dB amplifier available (Product Code: 68131) if you are testing small or low frequency signals and your Spectrum Analyser doesn’t have a built-in preamplifier.
