Built via a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the lab enables innovators to address issues in wireless communications by facilitating the design, simulation, and testing of interference-reducing, high-performance communications, radios, algorithms, and antenna systems.
The lab's anechoic chamber (absorbing all reflections of either sound or electromagnetic waves) is one of the few available to undergraduate students. It includes:
- 3D simulation software with dedicated computers
- A multiple axis-positioning table (MAPS)
- A vector signal analyzer (VSA)
- A vector network analyzer (VNA)
- Control software for the instruments
- Various required components.
