[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present invention provides a radio frequency main board 100, which includes a main board body 1, a ground pad 2, and a signal pad 3; the ground pad 2 is arranged on the main board body 1, a first hollow part is formed in the ground pad 2, and a magnetic attraction part 21 is arranged on the ground pad 2; the signal pad 3 is arranged on the main board body 1 and is located within the first hollow part, and is arranged at an interval from the ground pad 2.
[0040] In the radio frequency main board 100 provided by the present invention, the ground pad 2 and the signal pad 3 are arranged on the main board body 1. Among them, the signal pad 3 is located within the hollow part of the ground pad 2. By increasing the contact area of the ground pad 2, the reliability of grounding is improved. At the same time, a magnetic attraction part 21 is arranged on the ground pad 2, and the external test socket is magnetically attracted and fixed on the ground pad 2 through magnetic attraction to achieve a fixed connection. As long as the signal pad 1 is correspondingly electrically connected, a connection socket can be fixedly connected on the radio frequency main board 100 without using welding or other methods, effectively reducing the insertion loss, making the connection structure simple when the test socket is arranged on the main board, facilitating the installation and removal of the test socket, and improving the test efficiency of the main board.
[0041] It should be noted that the magnetic attraction part 21 can be formed in various ways. For example, during the formation of the grounding pad 2, a magnetic attraction section is directly reserved on the grounding pad 2. Corresponding to the reserved magnetic attraction section, the magnetic attraction part 21 is formed by adding a magnetic attraction material to the pad material of the grounding pad 2, so that the reserved magnetic attraction section on the grounding pad 2 has its own magnetism to form the magnetic attraction part 21.
[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the grounding pad 2 includes a pad body 22 and a magnetic suction cup arranged on the pad body 22. In this embodiment, the grounding pad 2 is divided into two parts, and the magnetic suction cup is fixedly arranged on the pad body 22, so that the magnetic attraction part 21 is formed on the grounding pad 2. By means of the externally provided magnetic suction cup, it can be arranged at different positions of the pad body 22 according to actual needs, improving the applicability of the grounding pad 2. At the same time, after the test is completed, the magnetic attraction part on the grounding pad 2 can be quickly removed to avoid the magnetic interference of the magnetic material on the RF main board 100 and ensure the smooth operation of the RF main board 100.

[0044] In one embodiment, a plurality of magnetic attraction parts 21 are provided, and the plurality of magnetic attraction parts 21 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the grounding pad 2. In this embodiment, a plurality of magnetic attraction parts 21 are arranged on the grounding pad 2. Through the plurality of magnetic attraction parts 21, multi-point positioning of the test socket can be realized, avoiding position deviation caused by single magnetic attraction.
[0045] In the specific embodiment provided by the present invention, an even number of magnetic attraction parts 21 are provided, and every two of the magnetic attraction parts 21 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the grounding pad 2, so as to stably magnetically attract an external test socket on the grounding pad 2.
[0046] In order to ensure the reliability of grounding, in one embodiment, a plurality of grounding pads 2 are provided, and the plurality of grounding pads 2 are arranged at intervals in an inner and outer ring sequence. In this embodiment, since the grounding pad 2 needs to simultaneously realize the functions of grounding and magnetic attraction fixation, when connecting the test socket to the ground, the grounding signal may be unstable due to the blockage of the magnetic attraction part 21. By arranging multiple layers of grounding pads, the grounding contact area is increased, and when there are small-range position deviations and vibrations, the multi-layer grounding can still maintain electrical contact, increasing the reliability of the ground contact.
[0047] Further, in one embodiment, a metal material is provided between two adjacent grounding pads 2. This facilitates the electrical contact between the two layers of grounding pads 2 and can effectively improve the reliability of ground contact.
[0048] In one embodiment, to facilitate the positional docking with the test socket, the signal pad 3 and the grounding pad 2 are coaxially arranged. This positions the signal pad 3 at the center of the grounding pad 2. During docking, there is no need to deliberately align the position of the signal pad 3 when placing the test socket. As long as the axis corresponds to that of the grounding pad 2, the correct correspondence of the signal pad 3 can be achieved.
[0049] In one embodiment, the material of the signal pad 3 includes a diamagnetic material. In this embodiment, to avoid the magnetic interference of the magnetic attraction part 21 on the grounding pad 2 to the signal pad 3, the signal pad 3 is made of a diamagnetic metal to ensure the effective electrical connection of the signal pad 3.
[0050] In the specific embodiment provided by the present invention, the material of the signal pad 3 is copper or gold.
[0051] In one embodiment, a wiring opening communicating with the first hollow part is further provided on the grounding pad 2; the radio frequency main board 100 further includes a signal wiring 4, which is arranged on the main board body 1 and extends into the first hollow part from the wiring opening. In this embodiment, the input or output of radio frequency signals is realized through the signal wiring 4.

[0064] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the magnetic matching part 51 is made of a metal magnetic attraction material, including ferrite, to form the magnetic attraction matching part 51.
[0065] In one embodiment, the signal test pad 6 and the grounding test pad 5 are coaxially arranged. In this embodiment, by making the two pads coaxially arranged, the docking of the signal test pad 6 can be carried out quickly. Only after ensuring that the grounding test pad 5 and the grounding pad 5 on the RF main board 100 are coaxially corresponding, the signal test pad 6 and the signal pad 3 therein are automatically aligned without the need for manual attitude adjustment.
[0066] Similarly, in order to avoid the interference of magnetism on the connection between the signal pads, the material of the signal test pad 6 includes a diamagnetic material.
[0067] Specifically, the material of the signal test pad 6 includes copper or gold.
