Description
TeraLab is an advanced laboratory for fabrication, characterization and measuring of RF
circuits, materials, antennas and devices up to 500 GHz. TeraLab has been created through
the joint efforts of the main radio frequency groups of the ETSI de Telecomunicación, being
also part of the Information Processing and Telecommunications Center (IPTC):
LEHA - Antenna Testing Laboratory
GMR - Radar and Microwave Group
GEA - Applied Electromagnetism Group
GR - Radiation Group
The laboratory offers its services to the UPM community, as well as to industry and other
research centers, relying on highly qualified scientific personnel in order to provide
solutions in cutting edge fields.
