Spectrometers
Seven spectrometers with field strengths rangingfrom 400 MHz to 700 MHz are available for hands-on use 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The different configurations provide a wide range of capabilities to meet the needs of our diverse user base ranging from routine analysis to advanced applications. Detailed information for each spectrometer can be found in their respective links on the left.
