Antenna and Microwave Laboratory, SDSU

Antenna and Microwave Laboratory (AML) currently includes an Anechoic Chamber with far-field radiation pattern measurement system (800MHz to 40 GHz), Orbit F/R spectrum analysis program, Vector Network Analyzers (low MHz to 4.5GHz, 40 MHz to 18 GHz, and 40MHz to 40GHz), LPKF CAD milling machine, LPKF via plating system, surface mount component soldering station, various broadband horn antennas and near-field probes, in addition to the full wave analysis simulation tools (such as Ansys HFSS, and CST Microwave Studio, Altair FEKO, TICRA GRASP). Funding support came from the College of Engineering, NSF, and local industries. Another new addition is a mini-compact antenna test range (M-CATR) from 26.5 GHz to 110 GHz. It includes a Keysight PNA till 110 GHz. Funding support came from the DURIP 2016 (ONR) and College of Engineering and local industries. We perform testing of antennas on a fee basis in addition to active research collaborations.
