Multi-User Vector Signal and Network Analysis (VSNA) Instrumentation

从EPSRC 2022年核心设备资本奖的基本要素购买的多用户矢量信号和网络分析仪器将大大有利于阿尔斯特大学的学术研究活动，这些活动直接与EPSRC在无线和光通信工程，医疗保健技术，数字孪生，制造未来和物理科学方面的战略优先事项保持一致。拟议的测试平台框架将为无线通信、微波光子学和光通信、数字医疗保健、先进制造和数字孪生以及基于电磁的健康筛查等领域提供新的进展。它还将大大有利于我们对本土工业的研发支持，并通过提供大公司期望在该地区获得的资源，帮助吸引外国直接投资。因此，它的可用性将直接有助于推动NI的经济增长，正如DfE，Invest NI和NI MATRIX Panel所推动的那样。在这样做的过程中，它将提高NI高等教育部门在NI的国际形象，这是新兴的阿尔斯特大学战略计划2023-28交付的核心。

The Multi-User Vector Signal and Network Analysis Instrumentation to be purchased from the Basic element of the EPSRC Capital Award for Core Equipment 2022 will significantly benefit academic research activities at Ulster University that directly align with the EPSRC strategic priorities in Wireless and Optical Communication Engineering, Healthcare Technologies, Digital Twin, Manufacturing the Future and Physical Sciences. The proposed testbed framework will provide for new advances in areas such as Wireless Communications, Microwave Photonics and Optical Communication, Digital Healthcare, Advanced Manufacturing and Digital Twins, and Electromagnetic-Based Health Screening. It will also greatly benefit our R&D support for indigenous industry and assists with attracting foreign direct investment by making available resources that major companies expect to be available in the region. Hence, its availability will directly contribute to the drivers of economic growth in NI, as promoted by DfE, Invest NI and the NI MATRIX Panel. In doing so it will increase the international profile of the NI Higher Education sector in NI that is central to the delivery of the emerging Ulster University Strategic Plan 2023-28.
