Design and electromagnetic characterization for wireless technologies
Electromagnetic Modeling and Analysis
CAMEL is a platform for the characterization and modeling of high-frequency materials, devices and circuits.
This platform is housed in the Microwave department at IMT Atlantique. CAMEL benefits from our expertise in the field of electromagnetism and offers a wide range of measurement devices and techniques over a very broad frequency spectrum. Many application fields are covered, including 5G, the Internet of Things and communicating objects, terrestrial and space telecommunications, and sensors for autonomous vehicles, among others. In addition, CAMEL relies on an in-house prototyping capacity for the manufacture of the devices to be tested
Dedicated to collaborative and contractual research, CAMEL provides partners with new test resources enabling them to validate ideas, concepts and technologies experimentally for their future developments
