Radar and Microwaves Laboratory

High-frequency systems are taught through applied projects in the Radar and Microwaves Lab as part of the electrical engineering curriculum.

Circuits that operate in radio and microwave bands, from tens of megahertz to many gigahertz, are ubiquitous in modern life and form the backbone of the communications, navigation and surveillance infrastructure of the national airspace. Radio circuits and systems fundamentally behave differently from their low-frequency counterparts and have different laboratory needs.

The Radar and Microwaves Lab is home to four fully equipped laboratory stations with all the tools necessary for designing, building and characterizing these systems.
