Telecommunication Engineering

Chair: TE

Introduction

Our research concentrates on optical signal processing and networks, mobile communications, microwave techniques and radiation from ICs and PCBs. The research work of the TE group can be divided in three principal research areas:

Short-Range Radio (SRR)

The main issues in this research area are low power consumption, robustness to interference, integration on chip (including the antenna) and overall costs.

Microwave Photonics (MWP)

Results include realization and investigation of integrated photonic chips that perform various microwave signal processing functions such as filtering, tunable signal delay and signal combining for optical beamforming networks. The main application is smart phased-array antenna systems for airborne and radio astronomy applications.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Main subjects for research of the EMC group were and are: modelling of radiated emission and immunity of circuits at IC and PCB level, signal integrity of high speed electronic circuits, development of test techniques for high intensity electromagnetic fields, and the combination of two or more numerical methods for optimum prediction of EMI.
