Development of the Microwave and Antenna Laboratory for Electrical Engineering Elective Courses

这笔资金支持购买一台惠普网络分析仪和两台扫描振荡器，用于开发罗切斯特理工学院电气工程课程的微波和天线实验室。虽然这些实验室是在过去三年里提供的，但测试设计项目所需的设备不得不短期从当地制造商那里借来。天线的设计、制造和测试构成了学生实验室经验的基本部分，所获得的仪器设备纠正了实验室硬件的严重不足。此外，一门新的课程“电磁学的设计项目：围绕实验室能力的增强而开发。这一奖项将由首席研究机构提供同等数额的奖励。

This funding supports the acquisition of a Hewlett Packard Network Analyzer and two Sweep Oscillators for use in the development of the Microwave and Antenna Laboratory for Electrical Engineering courses at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Although these laboratories have been offered over the last three years, the equipment needed for testing the design projects had to be borrowed for short periods of time from local manufacturers. Design, fabrication, and testing of an antenna constitutes a fundamental portion of the student's laboratory experience and the acquired instrumentation corrects a serious deficiency the laboratory hardware. In addition, a new course in "Design Projects in Electromagnetics: is developed around the enhanced capability of the laboratory. This award is being matched by an equal amount from the principal investigator's institution.
