Microwave Lab
A SCIENTIFIC FIRST!!! Evan Pease is measuring the even and odd order distortion signals from a superconducting microwave filter. He is using three input signals with a method being developed exclusively in the Hope College Microwave Lab called 3-tone intermodulationdistortion. This ground breaking research will help to establish the limits of superconductivity in microwave electronics …
Research Trip to Calvin College
On Friday, June 26, Jenny Hampton and her students traveled to Calvin College to use the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) in Kumar Sinnah‘s lab in the Chemistry Department there. Nick Wozniak and Alyssa Frey both took turns at the controls of the AFM. The purpose of the trip was to look at the surface structure …
The Microwave Lab
Chris Ploch and Cam Recknagel mount a CCD camera and spectrometer made by SBIG onto the plasma chamber in the Microwave Lab. Professor Gonthier has lent his asrophysical expertise to this effort by helping us to do this “turbo-charged” spectroscopy.
Kyle McLellan works on microstrip structures in microwave lab
Kyle McLellan was caught designing some rather unique microstrip structures using method-of-moments IE3D from Zeland Software. This is one of the numerous professional tools used in the Microwave Lab to ensure that our cutting edge R&D is competitive at the international level.
