Large-area microwave and RF devices and circuits
To fully realize the promise of flexible, ink-jet-printed electronics for RF and microwave applications, there is a need for robust metrology to characterize the inks and the circuits that are fabricated.
In our laboratories and with our partners we have the capability of performing high-accuracy, with uncertainties, of calibrated measurements of inkjet printed circuits. At the University of Surrey this is supported in our new nonlinear microwave measurement and modelling laboratory, which is backed by a £2M Strategic Equipment Grant from EPSRC.
