This handbook is a practical guide for engineers, researchers, and technical leaders working with Automated Test Equipment (ATE) in radio-frequency (RF) production. It does not repeat textbook formulas, but instead distills lessons learned from real industrial projects, covering everything from mmWave measurements to intelligent calibration and data-driven yield improvement.

Key topics include:

Fundamentals of ATE and its role across the product lifecycle
Core KPIs: cycle time, first-pass yield, cost of test, and traceability
RF measurement essentials, synchronization, and nonlinear phase detection
Hardware and software architectures: PXI, AXIe, LabVIEW, Python, C/C++
Calibration and correlation methods for production environments
Data analytics and AI for anomaly detection, adaptive test, and predictive maintenance
Deployment strategies: from pilot lines to full-scale production
Compliance, standards, and emerging trends toward 6G and advanced arrays

All examples are anonymized, and datasets are synthetic, ensuring confidentiality while maintaining real-world applicability. Whether you are moving from R&D into production, scaling a pilot line, or optimizing a mature factory, this book provides actionable tools to improve reliability, traceability, and efficiency of RF test systems.
