World-Class ElectroMagnetics Competence center opened on
High Tech Campus Eindhoven
Eindhoven, The Netherlands – The High Tech Campus Eindhoven has strengthened its
offer of services for innovation with a world-class ElectroMagnetics Competence
center. This center is unique in Europe,
because Philips has brought together its experts in this field
and has equipped this center with state-of-the-art facilities.
Services of the Competence Center will be provided to innovators
in the automotive, medical, lighting, consumer and industrial electronics.
Innovative applications increasingly require wireless connections, high data
throughput and low power consumption. To meet these new requirements
and to ensure that products do not interfere with each other, it
is important to realize electromagnetic and thermal compatibility.
Take for example the interference of signals of a hearing aid in
combination with a cell phone, or the thermal behavior in a flat
screen television. In the new center world-class experts offer
services ranging from an integral approach, looking at the complete
design and production cycle to consultancy and test facilities
in order to deliver 'right first time' products.
According to Rick Harwig, CEO of Philips Research,
the ElectroMagnetics Competence center is another proof
of the innovative strength of the Aachen-Leuven-Eindhoven technology
region: "This region is one of the 5 most innovative regions in
Europe. Philips even has the highest innovation rate in Europe,
measured by the average number of patents a researcher generates
per year. That productivity is enabled by the unique services provided
by the High Tech Campus Eindhoven. These services are now strengthened
with a world-class ability to deliver innovations to market 'right
first time'. The total investment of EUR 10 million in the Competence
Center at the High Tech Campus Eindhoven signals that this region
wants to maintain its innovative leadership."
The ElectroMagnetics Competence center
building is characterized by a daring architecture. The state-of-the-art
facilities include a 10-meter semi-anechoic room (SAR), which is
unique in the Aachen-Leuven-Eindhoven technology region. It also
includes two 3-meter semi-anechoic rooms, a fully-anechoic room
(FAR), a mode-stirred chamber, G-TEM cell, shielded rooms and dedicated
IC test tools. The measurement capabilities range from DC to 40
GHz, from nanometer up to several meters, from chip to complete
system. There is also an all-season test van for on-site and field
measurements with a 12 meters high antenna mast.
