Computer Lab

The Center offers computer facilities
for the design and simulation of
structures and circuits. Each terminal
has a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 processor,
with 2 GHz of RAM, flat screen
monitors, and runs Windows XP
Professional. A list of available software
is available here. To sign up

Fabrication Facilities

The Center's fabrication facilities
include a plotter for mask fabrication
and a chemical etching station
designed for a number of different
substrates such as duroid, PTFE,
alumina, and chrome. Positive
photoresist and an UV lamp are
available for photolithography. In
addition, the Center has a LPKF
ProtoMat circuit cutter and a Disco DAD321 Dicing saw. For more info go to our Services page.

Antenna Chamber

A near field antenna chamber with NSI
OEWG probes ranging from 1GHz to
26.5 GHz are available to all trained
users of the Center. Software provided
by NSI can translate near-field
measurements into far-field patterns,
provide magnitude and phase plots for
horizontal and vertical cuts, grayscale,
contour, and 3D plots. More information about the chamber is found here.

Test and Measurement Lab

The Center houses RF and DC probe stations, as well as a variety of DC, RF, microwave and millimeter wave test equipment. These include network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and many other common pieces of test and measurement equipment. Our latest addition is an Agilent E8361A PNA with capabilities up to 67 GHz. Equipment is available for use in our lab or off-site, for a complete list and rental rates go to our  equipment rental page.
