Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of radio frequency chips, and in particular to a convenient testing device for radio frequency chips. Background Technology

[0002] A radio frequency (RF) chip is an electronic component that converts radio signals into specific radio signal waveforms and transmits them via antenna resonance. It includes a power amplifier, a low-noise amplifier, and an antenna switch. The RF chip architecture consists of two main parts: a receiving channel and a transmitting channel. During the design and manufacturing process, RF chips may encounter various problems, such as unstable performance or abnormal operation. Through professional testing, these problems can be identified and resolved in a timely manner, ensuring that the RF chip can operate reliably and stably in practical applications.

[0003] For example, patent publication number CN215116507U describes a dynamic testing device for an RF front-end chip, including a spectrum analyzer, a base, a bottom cover, a top cover, and a positioning block mounted on the spectrum analyzer. The positioning block has a cavity in the center for accommodating the RF chip. In use, the RF chip is placed into the cavity of the positioning block, ensuring contact between the chip and a probe at the bottom of the cavity. The top cover is then secured by a gripping plate, pressing the chip firmly against the probe. The RF coaxial connector is then connected to the spectrum analyzer for testing. During use, tweezers or a vacuum pen are typically used to gently pick up or extract the RF chip. However, manual loading and unloading during this process is unstable and prone to dropping, resulting in poor convenience. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an RF chip testing device that improves the stability of loading and unloading the RF chip, prevents dropping, and enhances testing convenience.

The placement tray 4 is then placed on one side above the base 2, with an empty placement tray 4 for placing the tested RF chips on the other side. The operator then holds the upper end of a vacuum pen 59 and pushes it to the upper end of the RF chip in the placement slot of the placement tray 4. During the movement of the vacuum pen 59, the slider 52 moves smoothly forward and backward on the slide rail 51; the moving block 56 moves smoothly left and right on the guide shaft 55; and the sliding rod 58 on the mounting bracket 57 slides smoothly between the sliding rod 58 and the moving block 56, allowing the vacuum pen 59 to move smoothly up and down. When the vacuum pen 59 moves to… When the RF chip to be tested is placed above the slot in the placement tray 4, the vacuum pen 59 is lowered, and the mounting bracket 57 moves under the action of the slide bar 58, so that the suction cup at the lower end of the vacuum pen 59 is in contact with the upper surface of the RF chip. Then, the vacuum pen 59 is activated, so that the suction cup at the lower end of the vacuum pen 59 picks up the RF chip. Then, the vacuum pen 59 is moved up and then moved above the chip test holder 3. Then, the vacuum pen 59 is moved down, so that the RF chip is placed in the chip test holder 3. Then, the vacuum pen 59 releases the RF chip, so that the RF chip is placed in the test slot of the chip test holder 3. Finally, the vacuum pen 59 is moved to one side, the upper cover of the chip test holder 3 is closed, and the equipment is started to test the RF chip. After the test is completed, the RF chip is removed from the chip test holder 3 by the vacuum pen 59 and placed in the placement tray 4 on the other side.

[0026] Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to exemplary embodiments, it is not limited thereto, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes may be made thereto without departing from the scope of this disclosure.
