The Electronics and Electrostatics team of the Industrial Automation and Computerisation Laboratory UPRES EA-1219 at the Poitiers Engineering College (LAII-ESIP) is located within the Angoulême UIT. It consists of 5 permanent research lecturers and seven post-graduates and its research activities revolve around two areas :
modelling, analysis and design of high frequency electronic circuits (amplifiers, filters, oscillators, mixers), for use in the field of radio communications ;
modelling electrostatic phenomena and processes with a view to developing new technologies applicable to materials recycling and to environmental protection.

The facility has three benches for characterizing electronic components that have a very broad band frequency (12.5 GHz digital oscilloscope, 20 GHz spectrum vector analyser, …), together with several installations used for the experimental study of electrostatic phenomena (ring-electrostatic separator, 40 KV 5 mA high voltage generators, electrometers, …) ; the team works in partnership with a number of other university laboratories (IRCOM-Limoges, IXL-Bordeaux) and ACCO (Advanced Concept Circuit Office) industrial companies- St Germain en Laye, THOMSON, UMS (United Monolithic Semiconductor), EADS, Kodak, Hamos (Germany), Bühler (Switzerland).
