Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to radio frequency circuit technical field especially relates to a microwave device test fixture. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of microwave communication technology, more and more miniaturized planar microstrip structure circuits are used. The port products of this microstrip structure can be tested by probes, or can be tested by connecting the port with a test board or welding communication through a key wire. However, for products such as ceramic insulators with microstrip input and output structures and similar passive devices such as filters, which have relatively large volumes, probe batch testing cannot be used, and testing by connecting the port with a test board or welding communication through a key wire will damage the appearance integrity of the product and affect subsequent use.

[0003] The main reason why the microstrip structure port is difficult to test is that the microstrip line is composed of a planar transmission line and a ground plane. When testing the transmission line, a ground plane must be formed to form a transmission loop, and the microstrip transmission structure is complete. Therefore, in the prior art, a test device using a coaxial connector in cooperation with a test clamp plate is used. The coaxial connector is a prior art, which is a widely used small-sized threaded coaxial connector. It has the characteristics of wide frequency band, excellent performance, high reliability, and long service life. It is suitable for connecting RF cables or microstrip lines in the RF loop of microwave equipment and digital communication systems. This test fixture must ensure that the microstrip port is in good contact with the needle of the coaxial connector. When the signal is transmitted horizontally through the test needle, the clamping panel with the coaxial connector must be in close contact with the side surface of the base to minimize the distance between the microstrip port of the tested piece and the clamping panel, i.e. to reduce the gap without a ground loop for the transmitted signal, so that the microwave parameters can be truly tested. This is also the difficulty in testing microwave products with microstrip ports.

[0004] However, the test fixture of the prior art has two obvious defects. First, the lower pressing device needs to be manually pressed to fix the measured circuit, and the pressing force cannot be accurately controlled, which may cause damage to the measured piece. Second, the test fixture and the external RF coaxial connection part are horizontally embedded in the metal structure, which is easy to damage during use and difficult to disassemble, repair and assemble. The interconnection and assembly of the fixture and the PCB are achieved by welding, which is not conducive to repeated use. The existing test fixture is not flexible enough and can only move in the X direction, making it difficult to achieve universality and unable to meet the testing needs of different X, Y and Z sizes of the measured PCB.
