I want to put some testing point on some of the high speed signal trace (500 MHz ). I don't want to connect header pins in between of the traces because that's going to effect the signal strength, So I was just wondering is there a better way or any recommendation so I can insert testing points on these 500 MHz signal trace.
If the traces are on the outside of the board, look at a new technology from Agilent called Bead Probes. You have to get a license from Agilent to use this technology, but I do believe it is a no cost license. Here is a link to some documents that can explain it better than I can: Agilent Bead Probes
Thanks for your reply but the thing is that all these signals are routed on internal layers due to impedance requirement and trace width constraint.
The IC's used belongs to the BGA family . So I cannot place these Bead probe on the fanout either.
