ENB 236 Wireless and Microwave Instructional (WAMI) Lab - The software and
instrumentation in the WAMI Lab comprises a state-of-the-art facility for
design, analysis and fabrication of modern wireless circuits and
systems. Funding for the development of this laboratory has been received
from The National Science Foundation, Hewlett Packard, the University of
South Florida and several sponsoring companies (Mini Circuits, Motorola,
Honeywell/Xetron, Raytheon, Ansoft, RF Micro Devices, Cushcraft, Piezo
Technology, Tektronix, Maury Microwave, Anritsu, Jmicro Technology, GGB
Industries, Trak Microwave).
