Low-cost signature test of Rf blocks based on envelope response analysis

Barragán, Manuel J - Fiorelli, Rafaella - Vázquez, Diego - Rueda, Adoración - Huertas, José Luis

Resumen:

This paper presents a novel and low-cost methodologythat can be used for testing RF blocks embedded in complex SoCs.It is based on the detection and analysis of the two-tone responseenvelope of the device under test (DUT). The response envelope isprocessed to obtain a simple digital signature sensitive to keyspecifications of the DUT. The analytical basis of the proposedmethodology is demonstrated, and a proposal for itsimplementation as a built-in test core is discussed. Finally,practical simulation examples show the feasibility of the approach.
