Abstract

See full text

A test fixture for PCB components is described herein. The test fixture comprises a shim with an aperture configured to direct RF energy from a component of a PCB, via an end of the PCB, and to a top clamp of the test fixture. The end of the PCB may correspond to a cut line of a destructive test. The test fixture also comprises the top clamp with a test port and a taper configured to direct the RF energy from the aperture to the test port. The test fixture also comprises a bottom clamp attached to the top clamp to retain the PCB between the top and bottom clamps for testing. The test fixture allows for quick mounting of the PCB and testing of the component without modifying a design of the PCB or requiring specific drilling of the PCB.
