Tektronix Lab The Tektronix lab at PSU contains
30 fully-equipped test stations that include
logic analyzers, 4-channel oscilloscopes, DVMs,
programmable function gener-ators, spectrum
analyzers, programmable power supplies, and
Pentium 4 PCs. This lab allows students to learn
analog and digital lab skills using the latest
test equipment from one of the worlds top
instrument companies. This lab is supported by
Tektronix. Video Image Processing Lab (VIP)
With over 400,000 in equipment and cash
donations from Tektronix, the VIP Lab provides
invaluable research opportunities to students and
faculty. The equipment includes a Motion Picture
Expert Group (MPEG) portable analyzer, MPEG
transport stream monitors, MPEG test systems,
picture quality analysis systems, and a real-time
spectrum analyzer.
VLSI Lab The VLSI lab contains 24 Sun
workstations running the Solaris operating
system. These systems have access to the
"industry-strength" IC design tools from Mentor
Graphics, Cadence, Synopsys, and many other
companies. These tools allow students to learn
VLSI design skills using the same tools they will
later use on the job in industry.
