An RF & Antenna Lab is a dedicated facility used to design, evaluate, and analyze Radio Frequency (RF) systems and antenna technologies. It plays a crucial role in the development of wireless communication devices, aerospace systems, defense equipment, automotive electronics, and IoT solutions.
Common Experiments & Measurements
- Antenna Characterization: Assessment of key antenna properties such as gain, directivity, radiation pattern, bandwidth, polarization, and VSWR.
- S-Parameter Evaluation Measurement of reflection (S11) and transmission (S21) characteristics for various RF components.
- RF Amplifier Evaluation: Testing parameters like power gain, linearity, P1dB, and IP3 to ensure proper amplifier performance.
- Filter Development & Analysis :Testing the response of filters such as bandpass, low-pass, and high-pass to understand their frequency characteristics.
