Measurement board for electronic device test apparatus
View Patent ↗A performance board able to secure low loss, low reflection, stable transmission characteristics even when using a high frequency signal to test an electronic device and able to suppress signal leakage to the outside and entry of noise, provided with a base board having a signal pattern electrically connected with a socket formed on its front surface, a coaxial connector to which a coaxial cable electrically connecting the performance board and test apparatus is connected, passing through the base board from the back surface toward the front surface, and having a front exposed part of the center contact bent and electrically connected to the signal pattern, and a cover member covering the front exposed part of the center contact and correcting the impedance of the front exposed part.
1. A measurement board for electrically connecting an electronic device under test and a test apparatus, comprising:
a base board having a contactor to which said electronic device under test is to be electrically connected mounted on its front surface and having a signal conductor interconnect electrically connected to said contactor formed on its front surface,
a coaxial connector to which a coaxial cable electrically connecting said measurement board and said test apparatus is connected, passing through said base board from its back surface toward its front surface, and having a front exposed part of a center contact bent and electrically connected to said signal conductor interconnect, and
a cover member covering and contacting at least part of said front exposed part of said center contact and correcting an impedance of said front exposed part of said center contact, wherein said cover member comprises:
a first dielectric arranged around said front exposed part of said center contact;
a first conductor interconnect arranged to face said front exposed part of said center contact across said first dielectric;
a plurality of second dielectrics arranged facing said front exposed part of said center contact across said first conductor interconnect; and
a plurality of second conductor interconnects stacked between said plurality of second dielectrics and on a topmost second dielectric, and
said first conductor interconnect and the plurality of said second conductor interconnects are electrically connected through via holes.
2. The measurement board as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said second dielectric is comprised of a material the same as a material forming said first dielectric.
