ABSTRACT:
An impedance measuring apparatus includes a plurality of RF (radio frequency) probes; a plurality of rotation mechanisms coupled to the plurality of RF probes, respectively; a processing unit, and a mechanical controller. The mechanical controller controls the plurality of rotation mechanisms and the plurality of RF probes to measure package RF signals between terminals formed on a package substrate. The processing unit measures calibration RF signals between terminals formed on at least one calibration substrate; determines RF impedances of the package substrate from the package RF signals and phase differences corresponding to a thickness of the package substrate and distances between the terminals on the package substrate from the calibration RF signals, and calibrates the RF impedances based on the phase differences.
