Facilities

Full equipped microwave laboratories:

Laser micromachining

LPKF laser micromachining facility with 15 um of resolution.

PIM measurement system

Broadband-high dynamic range measurement system for the characterization of nonlinear passive devices. Input power to the device up to 40 dBm and able to make IMD3 measurements at microwave frequencies with tone spacing from 2 Hz up to 500 MHz

Semi-automatic cryogenic probe station

Custom made semi-automatic probe station, with vacuum capabilities and a temperature-controlled chuck (-150ºC to 150ºC)

Vector Network Analyzers

Vector Signal Generators

Spectrum Analyzers

Digital Signal Oscilloscope (4 GHZ of analog bandwidth)

High-Speed Arbitrary

Wave Generator (5 GHZ of analog bandwidth)

Cloud-RAN Testbed

Developed around OpenStack framework, a CRAN-cloud testbench build around a cluster of more than 100 processing server cores plus 5 USRPs, and several virtual machines implementing LTE-downlink processing chain, is available. It can be accessed remotely and used for both, design of new wireless infrastructure or for lab testing specific features of processing algorithms or RF devices.
