Overview of Lab Equipment


For classes in microwave device design and characterization, microstripline circuits, and microwave circuit analysis. 
Equipment includes: HP 85070M Dielectric Probe, HP 8720C Network Analyzer, Agilent’s ADS software, HP 8720D Network Analyzer, Agilent E4404B ESA-E Series Spectrum Analyzer and E4438C Vector Signal Generator. There are various stations with a PC and software for controlling the instruments. The PCs are connected to the department network.

Some experiments require equipment beyond that mounted in the benches; this equipment may be checked out from a well-equipped stockroom. The Microwave lab is located in room 2275 of MEB.

Cardiac Transmitting Unit

Cardiac Transmitting Unit

This unit is used to test the efficiency of a cardiac pacemaker antenna that the ECE 3300 students create as part of their labs. In the plastic container on the left is a liquid used to simulate the effects of a person's muscles. The box on the right has a transmitter that can output at 420 or 460 MHz to check how well the antenna is working.
