Integrated Systems Laboratory at IIT Bombay is a simulations and testing laboratory located in the first floor of the EE Annexe Building. We primarily design and test Passive and Active RF and circuits. We have EM design software like CST Microwave Studio, HFSS and Keysight ADS installed in our lab. We have several Core i7 PC's with augmented RAM's to enable high end computing. We are also in the process of acquiring GPU cluster based high end workstations for enabling fast EM solvers for design at mm wave frequencies. We work closely with the VLSI lab for our RFIC simulations. We work closely with Industry and foreign Universities, with a number of our equipment funded by industry. We expect more industry participation in our research and more test facilities in future.
