Description

The VNA is the main equipment of MICROLAB. MICROLAB is a laboratory dedicated to on-wafer characterization of devices and circuits in the frequency range 0.5 GHz -65 GHz. This frequency range encompasses the entire area of the devices and circuits used in the most advanced communications systems such as WLAN, GPS, mobile phones, radar. The MICROLAB consists of a vectorial network analyzer (VNA) and a probe station. The MICROLAB measures directly on- wafer all S parameters of any device and circuit up to 65 GHz and in the near future up to 110 GHz. The laboratory is managed by a quality system in agreement with ISO 17025 and will be accredited at the end of  2009.
