The Selection and Economics Of Wireless Test Fixtures

摘要

Wireless fixtures for in- circuit testing (ICT) have been available for more than 15 years and have no equal in testing high node-count complex circuit boards. However, there are other hidden advantages that apply to almost any board being tested, including decreased debug time, greater signal fidelity, increased capabilities to test low-voltage and multilogic modules, and reduced signal crosstalk. Obtaining these performance advantages for low node-count fixtures may require a longer payback period to cover the additional cost of the PCB used in the fixture.
