Abstract

A high-frequency chip antenna measurement system includes a platform; two piers; an arching; a stepper motor; an indication and fastening assembly having a source antenna holder and an illuminant indicator; a carrier stage; a chip antenna carrier having a support member and two sloping posts extending upward and outward from a top end of the support member, two chip antenna carrier benches being mounted to top ends of the two sloping posts respectively; a probe carrier having a support plate directionally variably fixed to the carrier substrate, two props fixed to the support member and parallel to each other and extending outward and upward slantingways, and a probe carrier bench mounted to top ends of the two props for bearing a probe; and a bridging member having two ends mounted to the chip antenna carrier benches.

Claims (18)

1. A high-frequency chip antenna measurement system comprising:

a platform;

two piers mounted onto the platform;

an arching having two ends pivotably mounted to the two piers respectively, a midpoint of the arching being higher than two ends of the arching while the arching is located at an origin;

a stepper motor mounted to one of the piers and connected with the arching for driving the arching to pivot;

an indication and fastening assembly having a source antenna holder and an illuminant indicator, the illuminant indicator being movably mounted to the arching, the source antenna holder being mounted beneath the illuminant indicator for the light generated by the illuminant indicator to pass through, the source antenna holder being adapted for installing a source antenna;

a carrier stage mounted between the platform and the two piers and having a carrier substrate;

a chip antenna carrier having a support member and two sloping posts extending upward and outward from a top end of the support member, two chip antenna carrier benches being mounted to top ends of the two sloping posts respectively, the support member having a bottom side fixed to the carrier substrate;

a probe carrier having a support plate, two props, and a probe carrier bench, the support plate being directionally variably fixed to the carrier substrate, the two props being fixed to the support plate and parallel to each other and extending upward and outward slantingways, the probe carrier bench being mounted to top ends of the two props for bearing a probe; and

a bridging member having two ends mounted to the chip antenna carrier benches respectively, a chip antenna being mounted to a center of the bridging member.

2. The high-frequency chip antenna measurement system as defined in claim 1 , wherein the two piers are columnar.

3. The high-frequency chip antenna measurement system as defined in claim 1 , wherein the arching comprises two ends, one of which is pivotably connected with a top end of one of the piers via a pivotal member and the other is connected with the stepper motor whereby the arching can be driven by the stepper motor to pivot.

4. The high-frequency chip antenna measurement system as defined in claim 1 , wherein the interval and depth of space between the two chip antenna carrier benches are greater than the width of half-power beam of the source antenna each.

5. The high-frequency chip antenna measurement system as defined in claim 1 , wherein the two sloping posts are jointly V-shaped or U-shaped or shaped like an inverted symbol “Ω”, the width between two points of a top side of and the depth of an opening of the V-shaped, U-shaped, or Ω-shaped profile being greater than the width of half-power beam of the source antenna each.

6. The high-frequency chip antenna measurement system as defined in claim 1 , wherein the support plate of the probe carrier is disk-shaped and surrounds a bottom side of the support member of the chip antenna carrier, the support plate having a plurality of through holes and being detachably fixed to the carrier substrate via a plurality of bolts; after the support plate is detached from the carrier substrate, changing where the through holes correspond to the carrier substrate can change the angle of the probe carrier with respect to the carrier stage.

7. The high-frequency chip antenna measurement system as defined in claim 1 , wherein the interval between the two props is larger than the width of half-power beam of the source antenna and smaller than the width of the probe carrier bench.

8. The high-frequency chip antenna measurement system as defined in claim 1 , wherein the probe carrier bench comprises three elongated holes, one of which is formed at a center thereof and the other two are formed beside the aforesaid one.

9. The high-frequency chip antenna measurement system as defined in claim 1 , wherein the illuminant indicator is slidably sleeved onto the arching.
