Radio Frequency Prototyping and Measurements Laboratory

463 Benedum Hall
Contact: Marlin Mickle

Radio Frequency (RF) technology is permeating most all aspects of everyday life well beyond cellular telephones and pagers. The components to use RF in various devices are relatively simple to use and they extend the functionality of common household, personal, industrial, scientific, and medical objects and equipment.

The RF Prototyping and Measurements Laboratory provides facilities to test and demonstrate novel and unique applications of this technology. The devices available include commercially available components and custom designed devices build by the School of Engineering of the University of Pittsburgh. Examples include medical equipment, communications, and industrial human interface systems.
