The RF microsystem is the future development trend of electronic equipment miniaturization, and the ball grid array(BGA) is one of its common implementation forms. Because the BGA package cannot be measured by being connected to a vector network analyzer, the testing technology of the RF BGA package is studied. A test fixture that can be applied to the RF BGA package in DC-40 GHz is designed, and a series of cal-kits are designed for it, which solves the test problem for RF BGA package. The simulation results show that the return loss of the test fixture at work is more than 18 dB in DC-40 GHz. The return loss of the designed open-circuit cal-kit is less than 0.88 dB. The insertion loss of the through cal-kit and the line cal-kit are both less than 1.1 dB. The simulation results meet the designing requirements of calibration. The product has good electrical contact, and is solder-free, reusable, easy to process, and convenient to take and unload. It is universal for standard size BGA package.
