It was created in 1996 by Charles Maerfeld, director of Thomson-CSF Microsonics and Daniel Hauden, director of the LPMO department. The laboratory focuses on passive components for RF signal treatment. Since 2006, the LPMX has been progressing in its research activities. Previously working on surface waves components, it has been developing oscillators and ultra-stable frequency source for time-frequency applications. Thus, its work has been broadened to all scientific activities which closely relate FEMTO-ST with TEMEX.
Numerous works are still dedicated to the analysis of surface waves properties on new substrates, to the elaboration of new concepts to guide high-speed propagation waves and to the manufacturing of the adapted structures. An other laboratory objective is to developp the theoretical analysis tools for guided elastic waves apparatus, taking into account the complex and three-dimensional nature of transducers.
The longer terms objectives are the study of innovating structures for the integrated module realization and the functioning limits research for acousto-electronics components.
