  • Patent number: 11205827
    Abstract: Provided is a rapid over-the-air (OTA) production line test platform, including a device under test (DUT), an antenna array and two reflecting plates. The DUT has a beamforming function. The antenna array is arranged opposite to the DUT, and emits beams with beamforming. Two reflecting plates are disposed opposite to each other, and are arranged between the DUT and the antenna array. The beam OTA test of the DUT is carried out by propagation of the beams between the antenna array, the DUT and the two reflecting plates. Accordingly, the test time can be greatly shortened and the cost of test can be effectively reduced. In addition to the above-mentioned rapid OTA production line test platform, platforms for performing the OTA production line test by using horn antenna arrays together with bending waveguides and using a 3D elliptic curve are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20210323116
    Abstract: The invention provides a porous polyurethane polishing pad that includes a porous matrix having large pores that extend upward from a base surface and open to an upper surface. The large pores extend to the top polishing surface and have lower and upper sections with a vertical orientation. The lower and upper sections are offset in a horizontal direction. Middle-sized pores with a columnar shape and a vertical orientation originate adjacent the middle sections and small pores with a columnar shape and a vertical orientation originate between the middle-sized pores. The pores combine for increasing compressibility of the polishing pad and contact area of the top polishing surface during polishing.
