Abstract

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus of near field scan calibration, and more particularly, a method and an apparatus for near field scan calibration for calibrating a characteristic of an antenna for near field scan measurement of a semiconductor chip. The apparatus for near field scan calibration includes: a plane-type text fixture having a plane shape; an antenna positioned spaced apart from the plane-type test fixture by a set spacing distance and acquiring data including a magnetic field; and a spectrum analyzer analyzing the data acquired by the antenna.

Claims

1. An apparatus for near field scan calibration, comprising:

a plane-type test fixture having a plane shape;

an antenna spaced apart from the plane-type test fixture by a set spacing distance and acquiring data including a magnetic field; and

a spectrum analyzer analyzing the data acquired by the antenna,

wherein the plane-type test fixture has a circular shape.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the spacing distance between the plane-type test fixture and the antenna is 1 mm.

3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the antenna is set as a first port and the plane-type test fixture is set as a second port.

4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the data acquired by the antenna includes the intensity of a spatial magnetic field generated vertically to the surface of the plane-type test fixture including a transmission coefficient and a reflection coefficient.

5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the magnetic field is acquired by analyzing conducted emission (CE) transferred to a conductor.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the plane-type test fixture is made of metal.

7. A method for near field scan calibration, comprising:

feeding power to a center of a plane-type test fixture;

acquiring data including a magnetic field from an antenna for near field scan measurement spaced apart from the plane-type test fixture by a set spacing distance; and

extracting a characteristic of the antenna by using the data,

wherein the plane-type test fixture has a circular shape.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising feeding the power in an amount corresponding to a size of the plane-type test fixture.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the spacing distance between the plane-type test fixture and the antenna is 1 mm.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the antenna is set as a first port and the plane-type test fixture is set as a second port.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein in the acquiring of the data, the intensity of a spatial magnetic field generated vertically to the surface of the plane-type test fixture including a transmission coefficient and a reflection coefficient is acquired.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the magnetic field is acquired by analyzing conducted emission (CE) transferred to a conductor.
