High Power Radio Frequency and Materials Laboratory
The High-Power High-Frequency and Materials Laboratory is hosted in the Valencia Space Consortium (VSC) – a non-profit organisation set up by Valencia’s two universities, its regional government and municipality – in Valencia, Spain.
The ESA-VSC High Power Radio Frequency Space Laboratory specialises in radio frequency breakdown phenomena (Multipactor, Corona and Power Handling) and Passive Inter-modulation (PIM).
The ESA-VSC European High Power Space Materials Laboratory specialises in investigating novel materials and surface treatments that can enhance the radio frequency power capabilities in modern satellites.
