The mission of INTA's Computational and Applied Electromagnetism Laboratory is to acquire, maintain, and update knowledge, as well as provide innovative services and technologies, in all areas related to radiofrequency and microwave subsystems and sensors, radar, and antennas to solve real-world defense and security problems.

The laboratory has state-of-the-art facilities and processes for EM material characterization, including a multipurpose anechoic chamber called BIANCHA (Bistatic ANechoic Chamber) and a high-precision characterization system called POLYBENCH, both based on free-space measurement techniques, which allow for the measurement and characterization of EM materials and complex structures by measuring transmission, reflection, and absorption coefficients.

In addition to these proprietary methods and systems for the EM characterization of materials, the laboratory also uses commercial systems such as the DAK kit from SPEAG, based on the OECP method, and the EpsiMu kit from Multiwave, based on a coaxial transmission line. Prediction software tools based on rigorous and asymptotic techniques are also available for solving electromagnetic problems. These tools are used both to support the Laboratory's own lines of research and to support other departments of the Institute, as well as the Armed Forces and other government institutions, and companies in the military, aeronautical, and space sectors, such as AIRBUS, INDRA, 3M, MICROMAG, and GESTAMP.
