Antennas and Electromagnetic Field Laboratory

 

The laboratory is fully equipped for research and development of antennas of all types up to 110 GHz. The basis of the laboratory is a reflection-free chamber for measuring antennas by the far-field method up to 110 GHz and by the near-field method on a spherical surface up to 50 GHz. It also has a vector circuit analyser capable of measuring conventional coaxial connectors, waveguides and using probes on a semiconductor wafer or microwave substrate up to 110 GHz.

Main activities

  • Design and manufacture of antennas and antenna systems.
  • Characterization and optimization of antenna systems.
  • Design, characterisation and optimisation of antenna feeders.
