Abstract

A testing apparatus for testing a device under test, includes a power source for generating a current, a coaxial cable unit for supplying the current to the device under test, a detecting unit for detecting a voltage applied to the device under test when the current is supplied to the device under test and a judging unit for judging quality of the device under test based on the detected voltage, wherein the coaxial cable unit includes a first coaxial cable including a first internal conductor and a first external conductor, and a second coaxial cable including a second internal conductor and a second external conductor, wherein the first internal conductor and the second external conductor conduct a current from the power source towards the device under test, and the first external conductor and the second internal conductor conduct a current from the device under test towards the power source.

Claims (34)

1. A coaxial cable unit for supplying a current generated by a power source to a device, comprising:

a first coaxial cable comprising a first internal conductor and a first external conductor provided around said first internal conductor via an insulator; and

a second coaxial cable comprising a second internal conductor and a second external conductor provided around said second internal conductor via an insulator,

wherein said first internal conductor and said second external conductor conduct a current from said power source towards said device, and said first external conductor and said second internal conductor conduct a current from said device towards said power source.

2. A coaxial cable unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first internal conductor and said second external conductor are coupled in parallel with each other and conduct a current from said power source towards said device, and

said first external conductor and said second internal conductor are coupled in parallel with each other and conduct a current from said device towards said power source.

3. A testing apparatus for testing a device under test, comprising:

a power source for generating a current;

a coaxial cable unit for supplying said current generated by said power source to said device under test;

a detecting unit for detecting a voltage applied to said device under test when said current is supplied to said device under test; and

a judging unit for judging quality of said device under test based on said voltage detected by said detecting unit,

wherein said coaxial cable unit comprises:

a first coaxial cable comprising a first internal conductor and a first external conductor provided around said first internal conductor via an insulator; and

a second coaxial cable comprising a second internal conductor and a second external conductor provided around said second internal conductor via an insulator,

wherein said first internal conductor and said second external conductor conduct a current from said power source towards said device under test, and

said first external conductor and said second internal conductor conduct a current from said device under test towards said power source.

4. A testing apparatus for testing a device under test, comprising:

a power source for generating a current;

a coaxial cable unit for supplying said current generated by said power source to said device under test;

a detecting unit for detecting a current supplied to said device under test when a voltage is applied to said device under test; and

a judging unit for judging quality of said device under test based on said voltage detected by said detecting unit,

wherein said coaxial cable unit comprises:

a first coaxial cable comprising a first internal conductor and a first external conductor provided around said first internal conductor via an insulator; and

a second coaxial cable comprising a second internal conductor and a second external conductor provided around said second internal conductor via an insulator,

wherein said first internal conductor and said second external conductor conduct a current from said power source towards said device under test, and

said first external conductor and said second internal conductor conduct a current from said device under test towards said power source.

5. A CPU system driven by a current generated by a power source, comprising:

a CPU for performing a calculation process based on a program; and

a coaxial cable unit for supplying said current generated by said power source to said CPU,

wherein said coaxial cable unit comprises:

a first coaxial cable comprising a first internal conductor and a first external conductor provided around said first internal conductor via an insulator; and

a second coaxial cable comprising a second internal conductor and a second external conductor provided around said second internal conductor via an insulator,

wherein said first internal conductor and said second external conductor conduct a current from said power source towards said CPU, and

said first external conductor and said second internal conductor conduct a current from said CPU towards said power source.
