EMPLAB
About
We pursue the research and development of electromagnetic structures and circuits. The final applications are within high-frequency, low-pressure plasma sources, resonators for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) systems, sensors of pulsed processes in electromagnetic fields, and other relevant subdomains.
In collaboration with industry-based partners, we are developing a source of plasma and ions that exploits cage resonator excitation, a principle well-known in NMR, which delivers a stable discharge even at very low pressures. We participate in spectroscopic research where nuclear magnetic and electron paramagnetic resonances are combined, the focus being on a multi-nuclei NMR probe for an 11 T elementary field and electron paramagnetic resonance at 330 GHz. We have produced a system to locate partial discharges in power transformers, with discharge detection in the ultrashort wave band. The product is employed in the operational diagnostics of block transformers at the South Moravian region’s Dukovany nuclear power plant.
The laboratory offers expert assessment and devices to facilitate the designing, numerical analyses, fabrication, and diagnostics of high-frequency structures, circuits, plasma sources, and related equipment that utilizes hf electromagnetic fields and signals.
Annually, various fresh topics to write Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Ph.D. theses are available, especially within high-frequency electronics and circuits. If you think mutual cooperation is feasible, do not hesitate to contact us at any time.
