Abstract
Systems, devices, and associated methods are provided for testing and tuning radiofrequency (RF) modules. An example system includes a test station including an imaging device, a measurement device, and a robotic arm. The system may include a rotary stage coupled with the robotic arm, measurement probes disposed in the rotary stage and operably coupled with the measurement device, and tuning tips disposed in the rotary stage. The system may include a galvo scanner and laser to remove conductive material. In operation, the test station may perform a testing procedure on an RF module where the measurement probes generate testing data indicative of testing parameters. The test station may perform a tuning procedure on the RF module where a tuning tip or the laser modifies the RF module based on the testing parameters. The testing and tuning may be performed by a user, semi-autonomously, or autonomously.
