Part of the Measure & Test Centre (MTC)
In the RF Lab, circuits and systems are measured over a wide frequency range (DC-50 GHz) on state-of-the-art equipment.
To measure very low signals, our "Faraday Cage" isolates the DUT from external free space EM radiated powers.
EDUCATION
At our ICD chair we use some of our equipment also for educational purposes in our Master Courses like Microwave Techniques (191211720). During this course students use a networkanalyzer and power meter together with Agilent ADS to compare measurements with ADS-simulations.
Furthermore a Msc-Course WTE (Wireless Transceiver Electronics) (191211500) is offered where insight in the operation and design of wireless transceiver electronics is presented. The final examination concerns a design assignment that includes deriving circuit specifications from radio system specifications, designing a receiver circuit block and simulating of its performance using state-of-the-art industrial simulation software (SpectreRF, Agilent's VSA89600 and Advanced Design System (ADS)).
