A Premier Research Hub for Electromagnetic Innovation
The Intelligent Electromagnetic Sensor Laboratories (iEMSL) is a state-of-the-art research facility located within the Wisenbaker Engineering Building (WEB) at Texas A&M University in College Station. Our 4600 sq. ft. of research space is designed to support projects from initial concept through to implementation and testing, covering a wide range of frequencies from DC to millimeter-wave.
It comprises four specialized spaces: Instructional Lab and Visualization Studio (WEB 167), Metrology I and Anechoic Chamber (WEB 160/160A), Metrology II (WEB 164), and a machine shop (WEB 157).
Facilities Capabilities
The iEMSL is fully equipped to support a wide range of functions, including:
- Antenna, material, and component characterization
- Signal generation and analysis
- System-level testing for communications, radar, and other wireless applications

Measurement Services
The Intelligent Electromagnetic Sensor Laboratories (iEMSL) provides a robust suite of measurement services designed to advance research and development in high-frequency electronics and electromagnetic sensing. We offer precise 2D and 3D radiation pattern measurements to characterize antennas and devices across a broad spectrum of frequencies, from 400 MHz to mm-Wave, ensuring accurate performance evaluation for cutting-edge applications.
Additionally, our expertise in complex permittivity measurements enables detailed material characterization, supporting the development of innovative RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave technologies critical for next-generation sensing and communication systems.
We also offer high-precision S-parameter measurements using vector network analyzers, RF on-wafer and micro-probing with advanced probing stations, and system-level testing including noise figure (NF) measurements for components such as filters, amplifiers, mixers, cables, and complete systems for communications, radar, and wireless applications.
iEMSL is poised to broaden its capabilities by incorporating characterization and in-lab experimentation for intelligent radio receivers, leveraging memristive and other cutting-edge devices in its research endeavors.
