Characterization

Our lab hosts a wide array of electronics characterization tools and capabilities. These include time and frequency domain characterization systems that cover DC to 110 GHz and temperature control systems that provide temperatures from ~ 1.2 K to 500 °C. Some of the key systems are listed here.

(Additional details to be added soon, but please check out what we have included so far)
