Our Facilities

Below is a selection of the research facilities developed and used by MISL team members.

  • The Advanced Networked Radar (ADRAN) Facility

    This facility, funded in most part by the EPSRC Quantum Technologies Hub, is providing a dedicated testbed to understand how novel radar architectures can help us to meet these challenges.

MISL mobile test laboratory

CubeSat assembly, integration and verification (AIV) facility

Group of five researchers working in the Cube Sat facility

A new ESD-safe facility for AIV and functional testing of 1U to 3U CubeSats for educational and payload technology demonstration purposes. 1U CubeSat Engineering Model developed in collaboration with industrial partners ISISpace (Delft, the Netherlands).

Anechoic chamber for controlled experiments and radar calibrations

Anechoic chamber

State-of-the-art anechoic chamber at the University of Birmingham to calibrate radar sensors and test developed algorithms in a controlled environment.

Indoor pool facility for controlled measurements

The indoor pool allows us to generate various types of waves, with different amplitudes and wavelengths which is used to estimate the effect of surface and clutter on the backscatter from targets.
