Abstract

An antennas-in-package (AiP) verification board is provided, which includes a carrier board configured for disposing an antenna array or an electronic circuit; and a plurality of SMPM connectors. The plurality of SMPM connectors are arranged in an array on the carrier board and electrically connected with the antenna array or the electronic circuit of the carrier board for testing the characteristics of the antenna array on the carrier board or the characteristics of the electronic circuit on the carrier board. The AiP verification board is fixed on a beamforming test platform. In addition to the aforementioned AiP verification board, an AiP verification board including a plurality of adaptor structures and an AiP verification board including a plurality of connectors and a plurality of adaptor structures are also provided.

Claims (30)

1. An antennas-in-package (AiP) verification structure, comprising:

a carrier board configured for disposing an antenna array or an electronic circuit; and

a plurality of push-on connectors arranged in an array on the carrier board,

wherein the plurality of push-on connectors are electrically connected with the antenna array or the electronic circuit on the carrier board for testing characteristics of the antenna array on the carrier board or characteristics of the electronic circuit on the carrier board, and

wherein the AiP verification structure is configured to be connected with a test equipment by the plurality of push-on connectors.

2. The AiP verification structure of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of push-on connectors comprises a connection pad.

3. The AiP verification structure of claim 1 , wherein the antenna array is a millimeter wave (mmWave) antenna array, and the electronic circuit is a millimeter wave electronic circuit.

4. The AiP verification structure of claim 1 , which is configured to be fixed on a beamforming test platform.

5. The AiP verification structure of claim 1 , wherein the push-on connectors are sub-miniature push-on micro (SMPM) connectors.

6. An antennas-in-package (AiP) verification structure, comprising:

a carrier board configured for disposing an antenna array or an electronic circuit;

at least one through hole having a ground-signal-ground (GSG) structure formed in the carrier board; and

a plurality of adaptor structures arranged in an array on the carrier board,

wherein the plurality of adaptor structures are electrically connected with the antenna array on the carrier board or the electronic circuit on the carrier board through the through hole having the GSG structure for testing characteristics of the antenna array on the carrier board or characteristics of the electronic circuit on the carrier board, and

wherein the AiP verification structure is configured to be connected with a test equipment by the plurality of adaptor structures.

7. The AiP verification structure of claim 6 , wherein each of the plurality of adaptor structures comprises a connection pad.

8. The AiP verification structure of claim 6 , wherein the antenna array is a millimeter wave (mmWave) antenna array, and the electronic circuit is a millimeter wave electronic circuit.

9. The AiP verification structure of claim 6 , which is configured to be fixed on a beamforming test platform.

10. An antennas-in-package (Ai P) verification structure, comprising:

a carrier board configured for disposing a radio frequency circuit;

at least one through hole having a ground-signal-ground (GSG) structure formed in the carrier board;

a plurality of connectors arranged in an array on one side of the carrier board; and

a plurality of adaptor structures arranged in an array on another side of the carrier board,

wherein the plurality of connectors are electrically connected with the plurality of adaptor structures through the through hole having the GSG structure, and

wherein the AiP verification structure is configured to be connected with a test equipment by the plurality of connectors and connected with a device under test by the plurality of adaptor structures.

11. The AiP verification structure of claim 10 , wherein each of the plurality of connectors comprises a connection pad.

12. The AiP verification structure of claim 10 , wherein each of the plurality of adaptor structures comprises a connection pad.

13. The AiP verification structure of claim 10 , wherein the device under test is a millimeter wave (mmWave) antenna array or a millimeter wave electronic circuit.

14. The AiP verification structure of claim 10 , which is configured to be fixed on a beamforming test platform.
