A test socket assembly includes a contactor body having one or more compliant interconnects, and a socket opening sized and configured to receive a device under test therein. The test socket assembly further includes a lead frame assembly disposed within the contactor body and electrically coupled with the one or more compliant interconnects, and one or more antennas at least partially disposed within the contactor body, the one or more antennas configured to directly and wirelessly communicate to the device under test when the device is disposed within the socket opening.

Test socket assembly with antenna and related methods

A test socket assembly including a contactor body having a socket opening sized and configured to receive a device under test therein, and one or more waveguides at least partially disposed within the contactor body or external to the contactor body. The assembly further including at least one waveguide antenna probe coupled with the one or more waveguides, where the at least one waveguide antenna probe including a first set of sides and a second set of sides, at least one of the first set of sides are flared out away from the longitudinal axis.

Test socket assembly with waveguide antenna probe

An antenna () is provided including a generally rectangular ground element () having a first end and a second end. The ground element () includes at least one hole (') for mounting the antenna to a support structure. A generally rectangular radiating element () having a third end and a fourth end if parallel to the ground element () and separated from the ground element () by a space. A bend connects the first end of the ground element () to the third end of the radiating element (). A coaxial cable includes a center conductor coupled to the radiating element () at a feed point and an outer conductor coupled to the ground element (). The coaxial cable acts as a feed line that couples the antenna () to an external transmitter or receiver.
