MULTI-PURPOSE PROBE
84
THE MULTI-PURPOSE PROBE (MPP)
The multi-purpose probe, or MPP, is a small portable probe that attaches to the auxiliary port of the
OSCOR unit and extends its functionality with the addition of different sensors/antennas to allow the
capture and analysis of suspicious signals: Coaxial Connectors, Carrier Current Probe (CCP), VLF Antenna
(Loop Antenna), Infrared (IR) sensor, and a Visible Light (VL) sensor.
The table below summarizes the frequency range for each sensor/antenna and the wavelength range for
each of the photo sensors.
Sensor/Antenna
Frequency Range
Wavelength Range
Coax (In-Line & Single-Ended)
5 MHz – 2 GHz
Not Applicable
CCP (Carrier Current)
50 kHz – 150 MHz
Not Applicable
VLF (Loop Antenna)
20 kHz – 20 MHz
Not Applicable
IR (Infrared Light)
50kHz – 1.2 GHz
700 – 1100 nm
VL (Visible Light)
50 kHz – 1.2 GHz
450 – 1100 nm
Connecting the MPP to the OSCOR Unit
1. Pushing on the edge of the VLF antenna (see page 94), slide it open far enough that you are able
to unwind the MPP cable.
2. The MPP has two connectors on the end of the cable: an 8-pin
circular connector and an SMA connector.
3. Connect the 8-pin circular connector to the AUX jack on the
back of the OSCOR unit.
4. Connect the SMA connector to the 0-8 GHz auxiliary jack to the right of the AUX jack.
