[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 3The utility model provides a simple TEM chamber for chip sensitivity test, which comprises a chamber body 10 and a stabilizing component. The bottom of the chamber body 10 is provided with a PCB bottom plate 11, and the two ends of the PCB bottom plate 11 extend out of the chamber body 10. A test window 100 is formed in the center of the top wall of the chamber body 10, and a test cover plate 12 is arranged on the test window 100. The two ends of the chamber body 10 are in the shape of a pyramid and form SMA ports 13 respectively. The stabilizing component comprises a hard foam plate 20 and two PCB vertical plates 30. The two PCB vertical plates 30 are connected to the two ends of the PCB bottom plate 11 respectively, and the centers of the two PCB vertical plates 30 are connected to the two SMA ports 13 respectively. The hard foam plate 20 is arranged inside the chamber body 10 and is used to support the two opposite inner walls of the chamber body 10.

[0021] It should be understood that the two ends of the chamber body 10 in the embodiment are in the shape of a pyramid, and the two ends of the PCB bottom plate 11 extending out of the chamber body 10 are located directly below the pyramid-shaped structures at the two ends of the chamber body 10. On this basis, the PCB vertical plates 30 fixed at the two ends of the PCB bottom plate 11 and the SMA ports 13 formed by the pointed tips of the pyramid-shaped structures are in abutment. Thus, the pyramid-shaped end of the chamber body 10, the end of the PCB bottom plate 11 extending out of the chamber body 10, and the PCB vertical plates 30 form a triangular three-dimensional structure, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure.

[0022] In the embodiment, the hard foam plate 20 arranged inside the chamber body 10 supports the two side walls of the chamber body 10, thereby providing stable support for the chamber body 10 in the width direction. Thus, the stability of the chamber body 10 itself and the overall structure can be improved by arranging the stabilizing component.

[0023] In the embodiment, the chamber body 10 forms a completely sealed space after the test window 100 is covered by the test cover plate 12, thereby improving the electromagnetic shielding effect. On this basis, the high stability of the chamber body 10 can prevent the chamber body 10 from deforming and separating during the test, thereby ensuring the stability of the test performance.

[0024] On the basis described above, the SMA ports 13 are formed by the pointed tips of the pyramid-shaped chamber body 10. The stability of the pyramid-shaped structure can improve the stability of installing the SMA connector to the SMA port 13 during the test, thereby preventing the SMA port 13 from deforming or shaking during the wiring process and affecting the stability of the final test performance.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the simple TEM cell for chip sensitivity test provided in the embodiment has the following advantages. The cell body 10 is made of a PCB bottom plate 11 as the bottom, and the two ends of the cell body 10 are connected with the PCB vertical plates 30 as the stabilizing members. The two ends of the cell body 10 are provided in the shape of a pyramid, and the tip of the pyramid is used as the SMA port 13. The structure stability of the cell body 10 is improved, and the two SMA ports 13 are fixedly connected with the centers of the two PCB vertical plates 30, so that the overall structure stability is improved, and the rotation or shaking of the cell body 10 caused by the installation of the SMA connector is avoided, thereby facilitating the test operation. The hard foam plate 20 is arranged in the cell body 10 to abut and support the two opposite inner walls of the cell body 10, so that the structure stability of the cell body 10 is further improved. The cell body 10 is completely closed except the test window 100 provided in the center of the top wall, so that the airtightness of the cell body 10 is ensured by covering the test cover plate 12 on the test window 100, so that the electromagnetic shielding effect of the cell body 10 is improved, and the test performance stability is improved.

[0026] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 The inner conductor plate 40 is arranged in the cell body 10 and abuts against the top surface of the hard foam plate 20, and the two ends of the inner conductor plate 40 are respectively connected with the two SMA ports 13.

[0027] The two ends of the inner conductor plate 40 are respectively connected with the two SMA ports 13, so that the wires connected with the two SMA ports 13 are conducted for chip sensitivity test. The hard foam plate 20 provides support force for the inner conductor plate 40, which can avoid the middle part of the inner conductor plate 40 from being suspended and deformed downward, and can avoid the inner conductor plate 40 from being rotated due to the torque borne by the inner conductor plate 40 during the installation of the SMA connector, so that the convenience and stability of the connection operation are improved, and the risk of breakage or damage of the inner conductor plate 40 and the SMA port 13 due to relative rotation is avoided.

[0028] As a specific embodiment of the cell body 10, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The chamber body 10 comprises two side plates 14, four inclined plates 15, and a top plate 16; the two ends of the side plate 14 are formed into pointed cone portions 141, and the upper and lower sides of the pointed cone portions 141 at the same end of the two side plates 14 are respectively connected and fixed with one of the inclined plates 15 to form a pyramid shape; the part of the side plate 14 between the two pointed cone portions 141 is formed into a rectangular section 142, and the rectangular sections 142 of the two side plates 14 are respectively abutted against the two sides of the hard foam plate 20 and connected with the PCB bottom plate 11; the top plate 16 is overlapped on the top end of the two rectangular sections 142, and the top plate 16 is butted against the inclined plate 15 above the pointed cone portion 141.

[0029] Since the two ends of the chamber body 10 are in the shape of a pyramid, specifically a quadrangular pyramid, the pointed cone portions 141 at the two ends of the side plate 14 are respectively formed into an angle with the two ends of the rectangular section 142, that is, the pointed cone portions 141 are bent relative to the rectangular section 142, and on this basis, the upper and lower inclined plates 15 are respectively overlapped and fixed with the upper and lower boundaries of the pointed cone portions 141, so that the two inclined plates 15 and the two pointed cone portions 141 respectively serve as the four cone surfaces of the pyramid-shaped structure, which not only has good structural stability, but also facilitates the assembly and welding work; the overall structure of the side plate 14 with the rectangular section 142 and the two pointed cone portions 141 can reduce the joints, which not only reduces the splicing difficulty of the chamber body 10, but also helps to improve the shielding effect of the chamber body 10.

[0030] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the center of the PCB vertical plate 30 is provided with a through hole 31, and the SMA port 13 is welded and fixed with the PCB vertical plate 30 along the boundary of the through hole 31. The through hole 31 is provided for the installation of the SMA connector, and on the other hand, it can be used as a positioning hole for the welding and fixing of the inclined plate 15 and the side plate 14 with the PCB vertical plate 30, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty.

[0031] In order to facilitate the connection of the SMA connector with the SMA port 13 and improve the connection reliability, as shown in Figure 2 , in the embodiment, the side of the PCB vertical plate 30 away from the chamber body 10 is welded with an SMA seat plate 50, and the SMA seat plate 50 is aligned with the through hole 31.

[0032] In some possible implementation manners, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3The inclined plate 15 located below the pointed cone 141 is a rectangular double-sided copper-plated PCB inclined plate. The double-sided copper-plated PCB inclined plate, together with the PCB vertical plate 30 and the PCB base plate 11, forms a triangular support structure. The upper surface of the double-sided copper-plated PCB inclined plate has a positioning auxiliary line 151. The pointed cone 141 is welded and fixed to the double-sided copper-plated PCB inclined plate along the positioning auxiliary line 151. The rectangular structure of the double-sided copper-plated PCB inclined plate increases its connection area with the PCB vertical plate 30, thereby improving connection stability. Because there is a bending angle between the pointed cone 141 and the rectangular segment 142 of the side plate 14, the pointed cone 141 is not connected to the edge of the double-sided copper-plated PCB inclined plate. To improve manufacturing convenience, the positioning auxiliary line 151 should be set on the double-sided copper-plated PCB inclined plate before welding. During welding, simply aligning the lower boundary of the pointed cone 141 with the positioning auxiliary line 151 ensures welding position accuracy and reduces welding positioning difficulty.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, both side plates 14 and the inner conductor plate 40 are made of copper. The inclined plate 15, top plate 16, and test cover plate 12 located above the cone portion 141 are all double-sided copper-plated PCBs. The use of pure copper plates for the side plates 14 is beneficial for improving the electromagnetic shielding effect, while the use of copper plates for the inner conductor plate 40 is intended to ensure conductivity, thereby improving the stability of the test performance. The inclined plate 15, top plate 16, and test cover plate 12 are all made of double-sided copper-plated rigid PCBs, which not only saves costs but also provides high structural rigidity, which is beneficial for improving the overall structural stability. On this basis, the electromagnetic shielding effect is ensured by plating copper on both sides of the rigid PCB, thereby improving the stability of the test performance.

[0034] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The edge of the aforementioned test window 100 is covered with a copper foil strip 17, and the edge of the test cover plate 12 overlaps with the copper foil strip 17. By setting the copper foil strip 17, the tightness of the fit and conductivity between the test cover plate 12 and the edge of the test window 100 can be improved, thereby ensuring the airtightness of the chamber body 10 after the test cover plate 12 is sealed, which is beneficial to improving the electromagnetic shielding effect and thus improving the stability of test performance.

[0035] Combination Figures 1 to 3 Understandably, the fabrication process of the simplified TEM chamber for chip sensitivity testing provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0036] First, prepare the materials: including PCB base plate 11, four double-sided copper PCB plates as bevel plate 15 (two of which are rectangular), a double-sided copper PCB plate with a test window 100 as top plate 16, a double-sided copper PCB plate as test cover plate 12, two double-sided copper PCB vertical plates 30 (with a through hole 31 in the center), two copper side plates 14, a copper inner conductor plate 40, and a hard foam plate 20, two SMA seat plates 50.

[0037] Then start the assembly and welding: place the PCB base plate 11 on the workbench, then vertically weld the two PCB vertical plates 30 at both ends of the PCB base plate 11, and weld the two SMA seat plates 50 on the side walls of the two PCB vertical plates 30 respectively, corresponding to the through holes 31 of the two PCB vertical plates 30; then weld the two rectangular bevel plates 15 with the two PCB vertical plates 30 respectively, align one end of the bevel plate 15 with the lower edge of the through hole 31, and weld the other end obliquely downward on the PCB base plate 11; then place the hard foam plate 20 on the PCB base plate 11 with both ends abutting the lower ends of the two welded bevel plates 15; then place the two side plates 14 on both sides of the hard foam plate 20 (the side plates 14 are welded and positioned by the hard foam plate 20, which not only facilitates operation but also avoids deformation of the side plates 14 during welding), align the two pointed parts 141 of the side plates 14 with the auxiliary positioning lines on the bevel plates 15, then weld the rectangular sections 142 of the side plates 14 with the PCB base plate 11, the pointed parts 141 with the bevel plates 15, and the pointed tips of the pointed parts 141 with the PCB vertical plates 30; then place the inner conductor plate 40 behind the hard foam plate 20 and weld both ends with the center shafts of the two SMA ports 13 (the ports are female ports with a central shaft inside, and the SMA connectors that are pre-connected are male ports with a central shaft inside); then place the top plate 16 above the rectangular sections 142 of the two side plates 14, weld the two side edges of the top plate 16 with the upper boundaries of the two rectangular sections 142, and then cover the test window 100 with the test cover plate 12 after wrapping the copper foil tape 17 along the boundary of the test window 100; finally, place the remaining two bevel plates 15 on the pointed parts 141 on both sides of the top plate 16, weld one end of the bevel plate 15 with the edge of the top plate 16, and weld the other end with the PCB vertical plate 30, while welding the upper boundary of the pointed part 141 with the bevel plate 15, thus forming a completely enclosed TEM cell that can be easily opened to expose the test window 100.

[0038] When performing chip sensitivity testing, connect the SMA connectors at the ends of the test lines to the corresponding SMA ports 13, then place the chip to be tested on the test cover plate 12, and then cover the test window 100 with the test cover plate 12.

[0039] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
