Equipment and Facilities
The Wireless Communications research group at Queen's has access to an extremely wide range of measurement and simulation facilities. Our most recent addition is a purpose-built reverberation chamber for the measurement of paramters such as antenna efficiency, diversity gain. This chamber (shown on the right) was specifically designed to accommodate 'live' human subjects or full-size phantoms for the measurement of wearable antennas. In addition to the overview given here, further infomation on the RF and measurement measurement facilites at ECIT can be found here.
- Reverberation chamber calibrated from 400 MHz to 3.0 GHz
- 10m Far Field anechoic chamber (1 GHz to 110 GHz)
- 1.5m x 1.5m Near Field Scanner (up to 18 GHz)
- Vector Network Analysis to 110 GHz
- Power and frequency to 110 GHz
- Real Time Spectrum Analysis to 8 GHz
- Tissue equivalent phantoms
- Hardware accelerated FDTD simulation
- Full range of standard EM solvers
- Unique co-simulation tool for Wireless Network Control Systems
