The instructional lab currently provides hands-on training in RF measurements. The lab will also be used to educate undergraduate students and provide workforce training in these emerging technologies and provide exposure to current trends in microelectronics. The lab is located in the Wisenbaker Engineering Building (WEB) room 167.
ECEN 453: Microwave Solid-State Circuits and Systems
Microwave Solid-State Circuits and Systems (ECEN 453) course lab work is currently hosted every Fall in the instructional lab.
ECEN 453 Bench include (5 identical stations total):
- Keysight P9370A Network Analyzer – 4.5 GHz
- Keysight N9320B Spectrum Analyzer – 3 GHz
- Mini-Circuits SSG6001RC Signal Generator– 6 GHz
- Keysight DSOX1202A Oscilloscope
- Keysight EDU36311A DC Power Supply
- RF Training and Evaluation Boards: Keysight ZA0116A (U3852A)

ECEN 403 & ECEN 404: Electrical Design Laboratory I & II
Some sections of the capstone courses (ECEN 403 & ECEN 404) take place in the instructional lab. The capstone experience successfully prepares future engineers by bridging the gap between classroom and industry. Students are required to use their knowledge and skills to complete an engineering design project equivalent to the assignments they will soon receive as professional engineers.
