Low Cost Testing of Low Power Wireless Transceivers

Parallel low cost testing of low power wireless RF transceivers is realized using a low cost RF mixed signal tester. Special design for test (DFT) considerations for the transceiver has made the implementation of low cost multisite RF testing possible with reduced test time and test development effort and improved throughput. Careful load board design considerations have reduced load board cross talk, signal noise coupling, and susceptibility for electromagnetic interference.
