From drones to security systems, a team of researchers at Texas A&M University is reimagining how future technologies sense and process the world around them. With a new National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, they are creating advanced digital twins of intelligent computer chips that could revolutionize how devices gather and use information.
The project is led by our very own Dr. Linda Katehi in collaboration with Dr. Jian Tao, assistant professor in the College of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts. The team is developing smarter, faster and more energy-efficient electronics, starting with digital twin technology!

New Electrical Material Characterization Capabilities Unveiled
We are thrilled to announce expanding our electrical material characterization capabilities, now featuring advanced measurements to enhance your research and development efforts. These include:
- Complex permittivity measurements up to 52 GHz
- In-plane anisotropy
- Standardized IEC/IPC measurements at 10 GHz
- Shielding effectiveness
The effort is a collaboration with QWED and Warsaw University of Technology, bringing together expertise to deliver cutting-edge solutions.
The flyer below provides a quick overview of these capabilities. For additional details and example measurements, please visit this page.
iEMSL and ETS-Lindgren Team Up for Beta Testing Breakthrough Product
Exciting news! iEMSL at Texas A&M is thrilled to collaborate with ETS-Lindgren in beta testing their cutting-edge product. Together, we’re pushing the boundaries of electromagnetic innovation! #iEMSL #ETSLindgren #Innovation #BetaTesting”

SIGN UP NOW! Rohde & Schwarz VNA and Spectrum Analyzer Training | Sep. 20th, 2024
The iEMSL is pleased to announce that the Rohde & Schwarz engineering team will run an in-person full-day training sessions on vector network analyzers (VNAs) and spectrum analyzers on September 20, 2024 (flyer is attached).
This training is designed to be both educational and hands-on, allowing you to perform real-world measurements using R&S VNAs and spectrum analyzers that can directly benefit your lab work. We’ll start the day with introductory measurements and progress to more advanced techniques in the afternoon. If you are attending, please sign up for either the morning or afternoon session, or both if you’d like. We look forward to seeing you there!
We highly recommend ECEN322 (or similar) being a prerequisite for attending the training.
Agenda
► 8:30 AM – 11:30 AM | Intro to VNA/Spectrum Analyzer Measurements
– S-parameters, Basic Calibration, VNA vs Signal Analyzers
– Measurements on R&S ZVA network analyzer and FSV spectrum analyzer
► 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM | More Advanced Topics on VNAs/Spectrum Analyzers
– Active Measurements for Amplifiers/Mixers on VNA and Spectrum Analyzer
– Considerations for active devices, P1dB, IIP3, NF, etc.
Pizza will be provided between sessions. Registration from here.
iEMSL Open House
Visitors are invited to tour the lab facilities and learn more about its capabilities and services.
