The AntennaLab group was consolidated at the scientific level and in terms of facilities in the 1980s. It achieved significant national and international scope in the 1990s. Currently, its members include 6 permanent professors, 3 postdoctoral Ramon y Cajal fellows, 8 doctoral research grantholders and up to 30 students pursuing their PhD or master’s degree. The group shares scientific projects, facilities and support structure. A continuing policy to combine efforts has led to the laboratory being equipped with measurement, characterization and microweld devices from 100 MHz to 75 GHz and an anechoic chamber with a roll-over azimuth positioner system, with a 5 meter distance between the antenna under test (AUT) and the probe. The chamber is operative from 1 GHz to 40 GHz and has dimensions of 8 x 8 x 10 m3. Since 1980, the work of the Antenna Lab has led to 102 international publications in indexed journals, 208 conference papers and 35 doctoral theses.
The aim of the facility is on promote research and training in the area of antennas, communications systems and electromagnetic visualization, to advance scientific knowledge and meet industry needs.
