Abstract
The present invention relates to a positioning apparatus for positioning a device under test—DUT—, the positioning apparatus comprising: a support structure extending over an horizontal plane, and a mast structure, which is elongated in shape and configured to contact the support structure, wherein the mast structure is movable along a pivoting axis between a first position, where the mast structure is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and a second position, where the mast structure is parallel to the horizontal plane.
Claims4
A radiofrequency (RF) test instrument, the RF test instrument comprising:
- a test chamber for receiving and testing a device under test (DUT);
- and
- a positioning apparatus for positioning a device under test (DUT), the positioning apparatus comprising a support structure extending over an horizontal plane, and a mast structure, which is elongated in shape and configured to contact the support structure, wherein the mast structure is movable along a pivoting axis between a first position, where the mast structure is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and a second position, where the mast structure is parallel to the horizontal plane, and wherein the mast structure is slidable along a sliding axis parallel to the horizontal plane;
- wherein the positioning apparatus is placed inside the test chamber and is adapted to move the mast structure along the sliding axis to bring at least part of the mast structure outside the test chamber.
