Abstract: Embodiments according to the disclosure comprise an automated test equipment component, ATE component, e.g., a handler component, e.g., a handler arm, comprising a first antenna adapted to establish a wireless, e.g., near field, coupling with a device under test (DUT), e.g., comprising an antenna, e.g., comprising an antenna array, when the DUT is arranged on a loadboard, e.g., a DUT loadboard. Furthermore, the ATE component comprises a second antenna for establishing a wireless, e.g., near field, coupling with a characterizing device, e.g., a golden device, e.g., comprising an antenna, e.g., comprising an antenna array, when the characterizing device is arranged, e.g., placed, on the loadboard, wherein the DUT and the characterizing device are, for example, placed at different positions on the DUT loadboard. Moreover, the first antenna is electrically coupled, e.g., connected with a rigid electrical connection, with the second antenna, to allow for a forwarding of a signal, e.g.
