Overview:

Approximately 150 students per year take EE 353, EE 445, EE 456, EE 471, and EE 502 courses. In addition to supporting these five courses, the laboratory also provides the necessary equipment for five to ten senior project students to perform their experiments.

Current Problems with the Laboratory:

• Presently there are eight laboratory benches and one large computer bench for six computer workstations and printers. Some of the equipment in the laboratory donated by Anritsu Co. are less than 1-year old, but most are much older.

• We do not have enough new equipment and some of the old equipment need to be replaced.
• We need more equipment beyond 3GHZ.

Equipment Needs:

• 100KHz-26GHz spectrum analyzers, with one on each bench.
• Equipment for making antenna radiation pattern measurements.
