The High Frequency Instructional Laboratory
was developed
with the support of Hewlett Packard and the National Science Foundation.
One of the goals of this laboratory is to expose the
solid state, electromagnetics and communication
under-graduate and graduate students to
the design of microwave circuits and the
high-frequency measurement of semiconductor devices.
This educational laboratory
is used in three senior elective courses/laboratories (ECE710 and ECE723
and ECE682R) as well as in graduate student research activities.

Microwave Software Available
-
- ADS is schematic capture simulator for the simulation of
complete communication system including, microwave
network, antenna and link, and signal processing.
- ADS includes
a schematic-capture based harmonic-balance and transient
microwave-simulator which permits the users
to verify and optimize their design as
well as generate the layout for board or chip fabrication.
