Agilent E8361A vector network analyzer (up to 67 GHz) is a member of the PNA Series network analyzer platform and provides the combination of speed and precision for the demanding needs of today's high frequency, high-performance component test requirements.

This HPC cluster is intended for numerical simulation and modeling projects. The cluster consists of 20 Dell PowerEdge 1950 servers with two 2.66GHz quad core Xeon processors, and between 8 and 16GB of RAM each. There are an additional 12 IBM x346 servers with 3.2GHz Pentium4 HT processors, and 4GB of RAM each.

The laser Doppler vibrometer Polytec OFV-5000 allows single-point vibration measurement. It is coupled into a microscope to measure vertical surface motion of MEMS devices.

http://www.ampel.ubc.ca/nanofab/ This is a shared facility for the fabrication and characterization of advanced materials and devices. The laboratory is shared on a continual basis by 20 faculty and 60 students from UBC as well as about 6 faculty and a dozen students from SFU and UVic. Occasional users also come from other academic institutions and local small industry (eg.

Compared to other patterning techniques, inkjet printing provides a very versatile and low cost microfabrication capability that has attracted significant research and industrial interest. Inkjet technology can be used to pattern a variety of liquids including polymers, proteins, and various solvents.
