Hi Ben, > Does PSAS have access to the PSU Microwave Lab?
Yes, kind of: we can certainly get access to the microwave lab and use their equipment, assuming we know what we're doing. Testing high energy stuff isn't what their equipment is for, however. > Can equipment be checked out for performance testing at a test range? Not really: it can be, but we have to get insurance, and it's a *big* hassle. Those test sets are in the > $30K range. Although there may be some cheap surplus sets available we might have more access to, depending on what you want to do. > Water replaces oxygen and hydrogen as the stored fuel.

Yeah, that's probably an excellent idea. Is this all at 2 GHz regime? or?
