Test & measurement facilities

The Group has extensive test & measurement facilities to support our research. In our development labs we have a wide variety of test & measurement instruments including:-

Anritsu ‘Lightning’ ME78080B broadband vector network analyser (VNA) system comprising a 37397D VNA (to 67 GHz), two MG3693B 20 GHz synthesisers and 3738A Test Set. High frequency heads available:-

  • 2 off Anritsu 3742A T/R modules for 67 – 110 GHz
  • 2 off OML V05VNA2-T/R modules for 140 – 220 GHz
  • 2 off OML V02.2VNA2-T/R modules for 325 – 500 GHz

Hewlett-Packard 8510C VNA with 26.5 GHz test set and 40 GHz test set

Spectrum Analysers from HP and Rohde & Schwarz to 1.8, 22 and 40 GHz

Signal generators from HP, Marconi and Anritsu to 2, 2.4, 3.2, 4, 10 and 26.5 GHz
