Publication number: 20220244301Abstract: A method for improving the accuracy of a final inspection (FI) test of an acoustic wave device includes gating the feedthrough/cross-coupling (e.g., electromagnetic (EM) path) signal of the FI test data response for the tested acoustic wave device and adding a feedthrough/cross-coupling signal (e.g., EM path signal) from an engineering (EVB) test data (e.g., for a similar or identical surface acoustic device). This results in FI test data with time domain recovery of EM path signal from an EVB test, which can be compared against EVB test data (e.g. for a similar or identical surface acoustic device) to determine if the tested acoustic wave device passes inspection.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2022Publication date: August 4, 2022Inventors: Zhaogeng Xu, Toru Jibu, Chun Sing Lam
