Introduction
The main research interest of the Microwave Characterization Group at Virginia Tech is in the area of wideband measurements and characterization problems using time domain and frequency domain techniques. This includes the development of the measurement techniques, the characterization and modeling of devices, networks, or materials, the development of the necessary signal processing and data reduction methods, as well as the design and construction of related measurement instrumentation and setups.

Our group is actively seeking new research programs which will utilize our capabilities and research experience for the sake of extending knowledge in these areas.
Impulse Radio (IR) or commonly known as Ultra Wideband Communication "UWBC" is one of the active research work in our group. The wideband and transient experience of our group will help making the technology works.

The Time Domain and RF Measurement Laboratory contains our facilities for wideband measurements from DC into the microwave and millimeter wave (70 GHz) frequency regions. This facility enables wideband measurements in both the time domain and the frequency domain.
