Our experimental capabilities

We make full use of the School's Centre for Advanced Electronics (CAE) labs which includes DC to THz instrumentation capabilities. 

We also have a range of bespoke in-house setups for RF sensor characterization, wireless power transfer, and energy harvesting applications

Antennas and electronic components used in mmWave WPT testing

mmWave High-Power Characterization

We can characterize high-power components and devices such as rectennas between 18 and 45 GHz above 30 dBm and rectifiers up to 67 GHz with power inputs up to 15 dBm.
Electronic lab with racks of wireless and RF testing equipment

mmWave Vector Network Analysis

The ESDC lab is home to several RF probe stations and on-wafer/connectorized measurement setups including, single-sweep 10 MHz to 110 GHz on-wafer/connectorized devices, D/H-band characterization (on-wafer), 700 to 1,100 GHz material characterization and sensing setup, and others.
An antenna measurement anechoic chamber

3D Antenna Measurements

0.5 to 16 GHz near-field antenna measurement based on an NSI near-field scanner for hemispherical patterns, gain, efficiency, and polarization measurements. The anechoic chamber is also used for higher frequency characterization with bespoke setups.
