The Drexel Wireless Systems Laboratory (DWSL) contains an extensive suite of equipment for constructing, debugging, and testing prototype wireless communications systems. Major equipment within DWSL includes i.) three software defined radio network testbeds (HYDRA, USRP, and WARP) for rapidly prototyping radio, optical and ultrasonic communications systems, ii.) an anechoic chamber and robotic antenna positioners from TDK RF Solutions, iii.) a materials printer and printed circuit board milling machine for fabricating conformal antennas and iv.) wireless protocol conformance testing equipment from Aeroflex. The lab is also equipped with network analyzers, high speed signal generators, oscilloscopes, and spectrum analyzers as well as several Zigbee development platforms for rapidly prototyping sensor networks.
