Microwave Network Analysis
Laboratory
The
microwave network analysis laboratory will serve
as the work horse of testing impedance and matching
characteristics of the new antenna designs, test
and characterization of RF components (oscillators,
mixers, switches, filters, low-noise amplifiers,
and other active and passive circuits and components)
for the retrodirective array system, materials characterization
for the Ferroelectric materials phase shifter designs,
and for the design and implementation of the quasi-optical
power combiners. The proposed equipment include an
Agilent E8364B Microwave Vector Network Analyzer
with standard calibration kit (85056A), and an Agilent
Spectrum Analyzer (E4448A). These are multipurpose
use equipment for microwave and millimeter wave test
and measurements and their availability will be of
significant value in supporting the ongoing research
programs, graduate and undergraduate courses, and
also for supporting the test and measurement needs
of local industry in Hawaii.
