High-Frequency Technology Laboratory (C306)
High-frequency engineering laboratory (C306)
The Laboratory for High Frequency Technology is concerned with fundamental questions and measurement methods of the technology of fast electrical signals, as they occur, for example, in current and future high bit-rate digital technology. The laboratory is integrated into the teaching of the Electrical Engineering and Information Technology course.
Goals and idea
The aim is to impart basic methods in the field of high-frequency measurement technology as well as the practical training of students through practical courses and projects in the high-frequency laboratory accompanying the lectures.
