Supply, Delivery & Installation of a 120 GHz Millimetre-Wave Performance Network Analyser for the Tyndall National Institute

University College Cork ( UCC )

Tenders are sought for the supply, delivery and installation of a millimetre-wave (mmWave) Performance Network Analyser (PNA) system.
The Advanced RF Technology (ART) group was established in 2020. ARTโ€™s researchers pursue cutting edge research in 5G/6G communications and other emerging areas where wireless technologies are critical such as internet-of-space (IoS), industry 4.0, smart cities etc. ARTโ€™s research is focused on RF front-end and antenna components from conceptualization and design; to manufacturing and RF testing.
Furthermore, ARTโ€™s research explores the potential of functional materials for the realization of tunable RF components and highly-miniaturized RF components. Specifically, the RF hardware and material elements of our research need to be characterized from DC to millimetre-wave frequencies under low power as well as under high RF power excitation.
