Department of Electrical Engineering

Center for Wireless Technology Eindhoven

We are creating a coherent, integrated approach to wireless systems, from the propagation of radio waves up to and including optical and wireless access networks. Our goal is to push boundaries and explore new applications of wireless technology.

Multidisciplinary, application-oriented research into wireless technologies

The Center for Wireless Technology (CWTe) is a collaboration of six research groups of the Electrical Engineering department of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e): Electromagnetics (EM), Integrated Circuits (IC), Signal Processing Systems (SPS), Electronic Systems (ES), Electro-optical Communication (ECO) and Photonic Integration (PhI). Within our two themes, Communications and Sensing, respectively, we focus our research in programme lines.

CWTe lab facilities

The CWTe integrates various laboratories designed for research on wireless antennas covering an area of 700 square meters: from near-field scanning (the testing of antennas in a small space), to the testing of new chips on wafers. The facilities include a fully shielded metal room in which the most sensitive electronics can be measured. In a system integration lab, chips can be linked to other components. In particular, the combination of the various laboratories and the clustering of the associated expertise in one place make the CWTe unique in Europe.

The CWTe laboratories are fitted with a traditional anechoic chamber of 28m² that facilitates antenna measurements from 500MHz till 40GHz. Next to classical far-field measurements it also supports planar near-field measurements of large connectorised antenna systems up till 90GHz.
