Abstract
An over-the-air (OTA) wireless test system includes a container, a machine plate disposed on the container, a supporter disposed on the machine plate, a load board disposed on the supporter, a socket disposed on the load board, a device under test (DUT) installed in the socket, and a wave-guiding feature in the socket and the load board configured to pass and guide electromagnetic waves to and/or from an antenna structure of the DUT. The wave-guiding feature comprises a wave-guiding channel in the socket defined by a plurality of pogo pins surrounding the antenna structure of the DUT. The wave-guiding feature may further comprise a radiation passage in the load board defined by rows of via fence extending through an entire thickness of the load board.
