Overview of measuring facilities• Materials, electron devices and sensors, from DC to 110 GHz, in the
temperature range 4K-500K– Coaxial setups, on-wafer probe stations and VNAs – multi-port (up to 4 accesses) and multi-parametric characterization of passive and active
devices (IV, CV, temperature-microwave, electro-mechanical, and magneto-electrical sweeps, …), in small-signal and nonlinear regime
• Analog/digital circuits and systems-in-package (µcontrollers, smart cards, RFIDs, FPGAs)
using ultra low current probes, logical analyzers, analog waveform and digital pattern generators, digital oscilloscopes, vector signal generators with I/Q or digital modulation ...
• RF hardware, protocols and channels for wireless and ultra-wideband communications
using Vector Network Analyzers, broadband antennas, channel sounders, in a free-space, multi-path or anechoic environment.

Benefits of infrastructure • Optimize management/sharing of resources
– access rules– planification of investments (“whishing list”)– common funding strategy
• Increase visibility – when applying for regional, national and international fundings,– with respect to industry, equipment suppliers
• Officially acknowledge existing expertise
• Emphasize and promote fruitful interactions between
technical staff, Master/PhD students, teachers/professors,
and industry
feedback to up-to-date content of Ms courses
