    摘要: An expected-power-value estimation device is configured to in such a way as to include: a covariance matrix calculation unit that acquires a received signal vector of a reflected wave from a reception array antenna that receives the reflected wave from a target, and calculates a covariance matrix of the received signal vector; and an unnecessary vector value removal unit that removes a vector value present inside a convex hull of the array manifold vector from among a plurality of vector values that the array manifold vector of the reception array antenna can take. Furthermore, the expected-power-value estimation device includes an expected-power-value estimation unit that estimates an expected-power-value of the reflected wave using a vector value that is not removed by the unnecessary vector value removal unit among the plurality of vector values that the array manifold vector can take, and the covariance matrix calculated by the covariance matrix calculation unit.

    摘要: A method for inline calibration of multiple radio frequency signals fed to the same device under test is provided. Said method comprises the steps of supplying multiple radio frequency signals to the device under test and measuring at least one characteristic of the device under test based on said multiple radio frequency signals, monitoring at least phase and/or amplitude of each of the multiple radio frequency signals during the ongoing supplying to the device under test, producing, based on the monitoring, a monitoring signal indicating the relative phase and/or amplitude of the multiple radio frequency signals, and inline adjusting, based on the thus produced monitoring signal, the corresponding phase and/or the corresponding amplitude of one, more or all of the multiple radio frequency signals while they are supplied to the device under test.

    摘要: An electric field sensor includes a light source; an electro-optical crystal, a first separator, a first wavelength plate, first and second light receivers, a differential amplifier, and a controller. The electro-optical crystal has light from the light source incident thereon and receives an electric field generated by an object. The first separator separates light emitted from the electro-optical crystal into a P wave and an S wave. The first wavelength plate changes a phase of light at a pre-stage of the first separator. The first and second light receivers receive the P wave and S-wave light respectively, and convert the received light into first and second electrical signals, respectively. The differential amplifier generates a differential signal between the first and second electrical signals. The controller adjusts a wavelength of the light source such that an output value of a direct-current component of the differential amplifier is within a value range.

    摘要: A semiconductor device is tested by disposing an antenna-in-package (AiP) module under a test antenna. A first signal is transmitted with a first antenna of the AiP module. The test antenna is moved to a power output peak of the first signal. A second signal is transmitted with a second antenna of the AiP module. The test antenna is moved along a first directional axis from the power output peak of the first signal to a power output peak of the second signal while a second directional axis of the test antenna is held static. The first antenna of the AiP module is tested while the test antenna is at the power output peak of the first signal. The second antenna of the AiP module is tested while the test antenna is at the power output peak of the second signal.

    摘要: A mounting apparatus for a modular antenna is described, wherein the mounting apparatus is attachable to a plurality of different radiation apparatus or modules and/or to a plurality of different feeding apparatus or modules. The mounting apparatus has a surface facing a measurement direction, wherein the surface is configured such that a surface parameter of the mounting apparatus is smaller than a predefined threshold, wherein the surface parameter is associated with a ratio of a first projected area and a second projected area. The first projected area corresponds to an area confined by the surface of the mounting apparatus facing the measurement direction and projected onto a plane being perpendicular to the measurement direction. The second projected area corresponds to an aperture of the modular antenna projected onto the plane being perpendicular to the measurement direction. Further, a modular antenna and an over-the-air measurement system are described.

    摘要: Systems, devices, and associated methods are provided for testing and tuning devices under test (e.g., radiofrequency modules). An example system includes a test station including an imaging device, a measurement device, and a robotic arm. The system may include a rotary stage coupled with the robotic arm, measurement probes disposed in the rotary stage and operably coupled with the measurement device, and tuning tips disposed in the rotary stage. The system may include a galvo scanner and laser to remove conductive material. The test station may perform a testing procedure on an RF module where the measurement probes generate testing data indicative of testing parameters. The test station may perform a tuning procedure on the RF module where a tuning tip or the laser modifies the RF module based on the testing parameters. The testing and tuning may be performed by a user, semi-autonomously, or autonomously.
