Abstract

A detection device detects an output electromagnetic wave signal passing through a test object. The detection device includes an electromagnetic wave signal generating unit, an output element, a receiving element and a measuring unit. The electromagnetic wave signal generating unit is used for generating an initial electromagnetic wave signal. The output element is used for outputting the initial electromagnetic wave signal. The receiving element is used for receiving the output electromagnetic wave signal. The measuring unit is used for measuring the value of the output electromagnetic wave signal.

Claims (24)

1 . A detection device, configured to detect an output electromagnetic wave signal passing through a test object, and comprising:

an electromagnetic wave signal generating unit, configured to generate an initial electromagnetic wave signal;

an output element, configured to output the initial electromagnetic wave signal, wherein the output element comprises at least one transmitting antenna;

a receiving element, configured to receive the output electromagnetic wave signal, wherein the receiving element comprises at least one receiving antenna; and

a measuring unit, configured to measure a value of the output electromagnetic wave signal, wherein the measuring unit comprises a radio frequency power meter, the test object is disposed between the output element and the receiving element, and the initial electromagnetic wave signal transmitted from the output element to the test object is converted into the output electromagnetic wave signal by an electronic element in the test object when passing through the test object.

2 . The detection device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first lens unit, disposed between the output element and the receiving element;

a second lens unit, disposed between the first lens unit and the receiving element; and

a third lens unit, disposed between the second lens unit and the receiving element.

3 . The detection device according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a filter unit, disposed between the third lens unit and the receiving element.

4 . The detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the output element comprises a plurality of output units, and the receiving element comprises a plurality of receiving units.

5 . The detection device according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a phase adjustment element, disposed at least one of the following positions:

between the output element and the electromagnetic wave signal generating unit; and

between the receiving element and the measuring unit.

6 . The detection device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a processor, coupled to the electromagnetic wave signal generating unit and the measuring unit.

7 . The detection device according to claim 6 , further comprising:

a first signal line, coupled between the processor and the electromagnetic wave signal generating unit; and

a second signal line, coupled between the processor and the measurement unit.

8 . The detection device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a third signal line, coupled between the electromagnetic wave signal generating unit and the output element; and

a fourth signal line, coupled between the receiving element and the measuring unit.
