Abstract

A method of testing a radio frequency (RF) integrated circuit includes: forming, performed by the RF integrated circuit, a test loop that passes through a first transceiver circuit, a first front-end circuit, and a second transceiver circuit, based on a test control signal transmitted from a test device; adjusting, performed by the RF integrated circuit, a shift degree of at least one phase shifter in the first front-end circuit, based on the test control circuit; and receiving, performed by the RF integrated circuit, a test input signal via the first transceiver circuit from the test device, and outputting, to the test device, the test input signal that has passed through the test loop, wherein the test input signal is output as a test output signal via the second transceiver circuit.
