Resources
This section is in progress. Thank you for your patience.
A significant amount of existing, modern test equipment is available through CReSIS. The list below summarizes the Center’s major test equipment resources.
• Network analyzers (two 40 GHz, two 6 GHz, one 1.8 GHz)
• RF signal synthesizers (two 20 GHz, one 2 GHz)
• Spectrum analyzers (one at 50 GHz, one at 22 GHz, one 1.8 GHz)
• High-speed oscilloscopes (two 1 GHz)
• Frequency counter (one 26 GHz)
• Direct digital, arbitrary waveform synthesizers (one with 2.4-GHz sampling frequency, one with 800-MHz sampling frequency, five with 200-MHz sampling frequencies)
• Digital signal analyzer (22Gs/s sampling speed)
Anechoic Chamber
Also located in M2SEC CReSIS has a 11.58 m x 7.29 m 7.36 m (interior, with 0.4 m raised floor) Anechoic Chamber which is capable of electromagnetic measurement and characterization from 30 MHz to 18 GHz with a 10 m measurement range. The chamber can accommodate small UAV of up to 1,100 lbs and has ~100 dB shielding from external environment. The chamber is available for both research and educational activities.
Other equipment and capabilities
• Numerically-controlled, 3-axis milling machine
• Printed-circuit-board milling machine
• Infrared soldering/rework station
• Video-equipped inspection microscopes (one with 600x magnification, one with 60x)
• A roof-mounted antenna measurement range for characterizing antennas with operating frequencies from 10 MHz to 20 GHz and an assortment of standard, calibrated antennas for antenna characterization purposes
• Various CAD and electronic design automation (EDA) tools including EESof, ADS Momentum, Ansoft, HFSS
Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS) provides a high-end computing environment that consists of computers (with peripheral and associated equipment) and software (Various CAD and electronic design automation (EDA) tools including SolidWorks, Xilinx Vivado, Keysight ADS, Ansoft, HFSS) through a common network. This facility currently consists of 1.6 Petabytes of active storage, 4.9 Petabytes of tape storage, and with a processing cluster of 176 nodes. 2 Windows processing servers and 3 Virtual Machine servers with 20 active Virtual Machines
CReSIS at the University of Kansas has adequate office and laboratory space of 4000 ft2 in Nichols Hall. It can accommodate office and laboratory space requirements for the proposed project. CReSIS also has access to a conference room equipped with audio and video equipment for holding virtual meetings and offering on-line courses.
