Laboratory Facilities
The Centre for Communication Technology maintains five hardware laboratories:
Microwave Lab
The main equipment in the microwave lab includes:
- Network analyzers to fully characterize two ports up to 20 GHz.
- Spectrum analyzers providing frequency-domain measurement capabilities from 100 MHz to 20 GHz.
- Antenna measurement system to precisely characterize antenna patterns and to determine the direction of arrival of radio signals.
- Agilent Advanced Design System (ADS?)
- SMD (surface-mount-device) station consisting of a manual pick-and-place-system, a prototyping table-top CNC drilling, LPKF Milling Machine and lithographic camera for the production of PCB prototypes with very high precision.
Computer Networking Labs
The main equipment in the computer networking labs includes:
- OPNET
- ns-2 network
- 2800 routers
- 2960 and 3560 multilayer switches
