Abstract:
1. An electronic circuit board for automatic testing of an electronic device under test with an automatic test equipment including a first signal generator, the circuit board comprising: an automatic test equipment terminal for coupling the automatic test equipment to the circuit board; a device under test terminal for coupling a device under test to the circuit board; a circuit path connecting the automatic test equipment terminal with the device under test terminal; and a PIN diode having one of a cathode and an anode connected to the circuit path; a signal terminal connected to the other of the cathode and anode of the PIN diode and adapted to be coupled to a second signal generator, wherein the one of the cathode and anode of the PIN diode being located relative to the circuit path so that the length of an interconnection between the circuit path and the one of the cathode and anode is electrically short with respect to a signal frequency of a test signal of the automatic test equipment for testing the device under test via the circuit path.
