The High-Speed Communications Carver Laboratory was started with a $500,000 grant received from the Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust. Sponsors of the Analog and Mixed-Signal VLSI Design Center, as well as Iowa State University, also contributed to make this laboratory possible. These sponsors are: Texas Instruments, Inc., RocketCHIPS, Inc., Rockwell Collins and VTC, Inc.

This laboratory provides state-of-the-art test equipment that may be used to measure electronic jitter and phase noise of circuits, linearity and dynamic performance of high-speed and high-resolution A/D and D/A converters and other performance characteristics of analog, digital and mixed-signal circuits.
