Equipment:
We have the most extensive RF to THz characterisation facilities, and the first suite of automated 3D electronics printing/fabrication kit. The highlights include:
Antenna measurements (3D scanning up to 18 GHz), compact antenna measurements (20-67 GHz), and near-field scanning from 50 GHz and >300 GHz.
Calibrated coaxial s-parameters up to 110 GHz (2-port) and up to 46 GHz (4-port).
Waveguide metamaterial and antenna antenna measurements from 110 GHz to 1,100 GHz; full coverage of the waveguide bands using VDI frequency extenders and Keysight PNAs.
THz material characterization (open waveguide MCK): 700-1,100 GHz, 50-75 GHz + other bands on-demand.
Rectenna/power measurements up to 40 GHz, on-chip network analysis to 1,100 GHz.
Time-domain measurements
On-chip load-pull and noise parameter measurements, up to 50 GHz (noise) and 1,100 GHz (load pull)
