摘要:
An RFID verifier includes a transmit signal strength indicator (TSSI) and a receive signal strength indicator (RSSI). Using the TSSI, the RFID verifier may determine the amount of power an interrogated RFID tag is illuminated with. Similarly, using the RSSI , the RFID verifier may determine the amount of power returned to the RFID verifier by the RFID tag. By processing the returned power and the illuminating power with a transfer function, the RFID verifier may provide an absolute indicia of quality for the interrogated RFID tag.

An ultrafast sampling system includes an interposer and a sampler that include a series of Schottky diodes configured with a non-parallel waveguide to form shocklines or nonlinear transmission line (NLTLs) that produce a differential strobe pulse. The shocklines are defined by non-parallel conductors that are configured as, for example, triangular, dentate, arcuate, or other shapes, or as conductors that have edges that are triangular, dentate, arcuate, or the like. The conductors are defined with respect to a substrate, and are airbridged so that at least some portions of the conductors are displaced from the substrate to reduce waveguide capacitance. Electrical connection to the sampler is made with airline having an inner conductor that is deformable to contact an input pad defined on the sampler.

A method is provided for accomplishing unified testing of a digital/RF system (10'), comprised of a digital controller (14), a base-band processor (20), an RF transmitter (24) and an RF receiver (34). The digital portion of the digital/RF system (10'), including the digital controller (14) and the base-band processor (20), is tested by a digital test technique such as Boundary-Scan testing. Test patterns for the RF elements are down-loaded from the digital controller (14) to the base-band processor via a Boundary-Scan Test Access Port (TAP). Thereafter, the RF transmitter (24) and the RF receiver (34) are tested by applying the test patterns from the base-band processor to the RF transmitter for transmission thereby. The signal produced by the RF transmitter (24) in response to the applied test pattern is converted to a first digital signal stream for processing by the base-band processor (20) to determine the operability of the transmitter. The signal produced by the RF transmitter (24) is also received by the RF receiver (34) for demodulation thereby. The demodulated receiver signal is then converted to a second signal stream for input to the base-band processor to determine the operability of the receiver.
摘要:
L'invention concerne un dispositif qui, fixé sur un appareil de mesure, permet d'avoir accès aux bornes d'un composant hyperfréquence, pour mesure de ses paramètres "S". En vue d'avoir les liaisons les plus courtes entre les lignes d'accès (4 + 7) du dispositif et les bornes d'entrée et sortie du composant (24) à mesurer, l'invention prévoit que les deux blocs d'accès (1, 2), qui portent les lignes d'accès, sont réglables en position, par rapport au composant (24) à mesurer, selon deux degrés de liberté, en écartement et en translation latérale. Le composant à mesurer, quelque soit son type (puce, en boitier, en circuit hybride) est porté par un bloc (17), inséré entre les deux blocs d'accès (1, 2), et de dimensions égales à celles du composant (24). Applications aux mesures des paramètres "S", du bruit, de la puissance, en hyperfréquences.
摘要:
This test apparatus permits the testing of high speed semiconductor devices (room-temperature chips) by a Josephson junction sampling device (cryogenic chip) without intolerable loss of resolution. The interface comprises a quartz pass-through plug which includes a planar transmission line (5) interconnecting a first chip station, where the semiconductor chip (2) to be tested is temporarily mounted and a second chip station, where the cryogenic chip (1) is mounted. The pass-through plug has a long half-cylindrical portion (3) and short half-cylindrical portion (4). The long portion carries the planar transmission line, the ends of which form the first and second chip mounting stations. The short portion completes the cylinder with the long portion for part of its length, where a seal (6) can be achieved, but does not extend over the chip mounting stations. Sealing is by epoxy cement. The pass- through plug is sealed in place in a flange mounted to the chamber wall. The first chip station is in the room temperature environment required for semiconductor operation. The second chip station, with the cryogenic chip attached, extends into a liquid helium reservoir. Proper semiconductor operating temperature is achieved by a heater wire (8) and control thermocouple (9) in the vicinity of each other and the second chip mounting station. Thermal isolation is main- I tained by vacuum and seals. Connections for power and control, for test result signals, for temperature control and heating, and for vacuum complete the test apparatus.
