This new laboratory contains 3 workstations. Each station consists of a 586 based computer containing a Digital to Analog converter card, a Dual D.C. power supply and voltage to current converter circuit. Specially developed software allows students to carry out measurements of output characteristics of microelectronic semiconductor devices such as BJT, FET, different types of diodes. The obtained data are used to determine the correlation between the device output characteristics and the device design. This laboratory is run, independently, by the student chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.
Seniors find the laboratory particularly useful in testing their senior design projects. .
All research laboratories are used by students working toward either their Masters or Ph.D. degree. The test equipment includes oscilloscopes, power supplies, meters, and signal generators. The most recent experimental projects include studies of magnetostatic waves in epitaxial YIG films. This laboratory is equipped to perform research in the broad area of fiber optic sensors. Fiber optic sensors for biomedical diagnostic instrumentation and integrated fiber optics.
