Radiation and Propagation

Located on the Cité Descartes campus in Champs-sur-Marne, the "Rayonnement et Propagation" platform addresses phenomena linked to the propagation of radio waves in free space or in circuits and transmission lines. An essential support for R&D, it offers trainers, researchers and industrial partners the means for rapid prototyping, simulation and electromagnetic characterization of materials, antennas and, more generally, communicating systems. 
In terms of facilities, the platform has three shielded anechoic chambers for electromagnetic testing in controlled environments. In detail, a small chamber is dedicated to characterizing UHF RFID tags in the 800-1000 MHz band, a near-field measurement chamber is dedicated to characterizing antenna radiation from 800MHz to 40 GHz, and a modular chamber enables propagation measurements (SER measurement, EMC measurement, electromagnetic energy recovery) and radio wave localization (RADAR MIMO). A mode-shuffling reverberation chamber (>500MHz) provides the statistical field uniformity required for electromagnetic compatibility measurements, antenna efficiency or material absorption characterization. These chambers can be instrumented with a range of equipment enabling the generation and analysis of specific waveforms up to 6GHz.
