Abstract

A testing board (i.e., testing fixture) includes a printed circuit board (PCB), an external connection port, and plural coaxial radio frequency (RF) connector sets. The external connection port is located on the printed circuit board. Each of the coaxial RF connector sets includes a top coaxial RF connector and a bottom coaxial RF connector. The top coaxial RF connector and the bottom coaxial RF connector are respectively disposed on a top surface and a bottom surface of the printed circuit board in a coaxial arrangement and electrically connect to the external connection port.

Claims (21)

1. A testing board comprising:

a printed circuit board;

an external connection port disposed on the printed circuit board;

a plurality of coaxial radio frequency (RF) connector sets, wherein each of the

RF connector sets includes a top coaxial RF connector and a bottom coaxial RF connector, and the top coaxial RF connector and the bottom coaxial RF connector are respectively disposed on a top surface and a bottom surface of the printed circuit board in a coaxial arrangement, and are electrically connect to the external connection port; and

a first connecting element, wherein each of the top coaxial RF connector and the bottom coaxial RF connector has a socket, and a shortest linear distance between the socket and the first connecting element along an extending direction of the printed circuit board is greater than zero.

2. The testing board of claim 1 , further comprising a second connecting element, wherein the top coaxial RF connector and the bottom coaxial RF connector are respectively fixed on the top surface and the bottom surface of the printed circuit board by both of the first connecting element and the second connecting element simultaneously.

3. The testing board of claim 2 , wherein each of the top coaxial RF connector and the bottom coaxial RF connector has a non-threaded through-hole and a threaded hole, the first connecting element passes through the non-threaded through-hole of the top coaxial RF connector to fix in the threaded hole of the bottom coaxial RF connector, and the second connecting element passes through the non-threaded through-hole of the bottom coaxial RF connector to fix in the threaded hole of the top coaxial RF connector.

4. The testing board of claim 2 , wherein one of the top coaxial RF connector and the bottom coaxial RF connector has a first non-threaded through-hole and a second non-threaded through-hole, the other has a first threaded hole and a second threaded hole, the first connecting element passes through the first non-threaded through-hole to fix in the first threaded hole, and the second connecting element passes through the second non-threaded through-hole to fix in the second threaded hole.

5. The testing board of claim 1 , wherein a difference between a buried distance between the external connection port and the top coaxial RF connector and a buried distance between the external connection port and the bottom coaxial RF connector is not more than 1%.

6. The testing board of claim 1 , wherein the top coaxial RF connectors on the printed circuit board are arranged in a fan shape, and a position of the top coaxial RF connector furthest from the external connection port is not more than half a width of the printed circuit board.

7. The testing board of claim 1 , wherein a farthest distance between two sides of a base of the top coaxial RF connector is V, a distance between a central axis of one of the top coaxial RF connectors on the printed circuit board that is farthest from the external connection port, and the external connection port is K, and K is smaller than 3V.

8. The testing board of claim 1 , wherein a farthest distance between two sides of a base of the top coaxial RF connector is V, a distance between a central axis of one of the top coaxial RF connectors on the printed circuit board that is closest to the external connection port and the external connection port is K, and K is smaller than 2.5V.

9. A testing board comprising:

a printed circuit board;

an external connection port disposed on the printed circuit board; and

a plurality of coaxial radio frequency (RF) connector sets, wherein each of the RF connector sets includes a top coaxial RF connector and a bottom coaxial RF connector, and the top coaxial RF connector and the bottom coaxial RF connector are respectively disposed on a top surface and a bottom surface of the printed circuit board, and are aligned with each other in a direction perpendicular to the printed circuit board, and electrically connect to the external connection port.

10. The testing board of claim 9 , further comprising a first connecting element, wherein each of the top coaxial RF connector and the bottom coaxial RF connector has a socket, and a shortest linear distance between the socket and the first connecting element and along an extending direction of the printed circuit board is greater than zero.

11. The testing board of claim 10 , further comprising a second connecting element, wherein the top coaxial RF connector and the bottom coaxial RF connector are respectively fixed on the top surface and the bottom surface of the printed circuit board by using the first connecting element and the second connecting element.

12. The testing board of claim 11 , wherein each of the top coaxial RF connector and the bottom coaxial RF connector has a non-threaded through-hole and a threaded hole, the first connecting element passes through the non-threaded through-hole of the top coaxial RF connector to fix in the threaded hole of the bottom coaxial RF connector, and the second connecting element passes through the non-threaded through-hole of the bottom coaxial RF connector to fix in the threaded hole of the top coaxial RF connector.

13. The testing board of claim 11 , wherein one of the top coaxial RF connector and the bottom coaxial RF connector has a first non-threaded through-hole and a second non-threaded through-hole, the other has a first threaded hole and a second threaded hole, the first connecting element passes through the first non-threaded through-hole to fix in the first threaded hole, and the second connecting element passes through the second non-threaded through-hole to fix in the second threaded hole.
