Drive innovation in wireless technologies by designing, analysing, and optimising radio systems for telecommunications, the Internet of Things, and beyond.
Today’s interconnected world is increasingly reliant on wireless technologies. As a result, there is a demand for skilled professionals who can develop and manage systems of interconnected devices, such as (mobile) phones, smartwatches, or smart meters connected to central stations. However, these systems also bring a lot of challenges. For example, what techniques can you employ in signal processing to mitigate noise and improve signal quality? How can you design radio systems that meet the high signal processing requirements of 5G or 6G wireless network technologies? If you want to devise solutions for these and similar challenges, the specialisation in Radio Systems is right for you.
“The number of antennas in contemporary communication systems is increasing, and this poses a unique set of challenges. For example, how should you position the antennas to maximise energy efficiency? What signal processing techniques should you employ to achieve maximum efficiency, enabling the use of compact batteries?”
In this specialisation, you will learn about radio propagation, channel modelling, antenna systems, and signal processing. What exchange occurs between transmitters and receivers equipped with multiple antennas? Everything between the transmitting and receiving antennas is a wireless channel and you will learn to use specialised equipment to characterise, measure, and later emulate the channel. What’s more, you will explore different antenna types and their operational principles. Additionally, you will learn to design and optimise array antennas and investigate antenna measurement techniques. As signal generation and processing are at the core of every radio system, you will acquire skills in signal acquisition and information extraction and learn to use dedicated circuits and microcontrollers.
We are working in close collaboration with the Digital Society Institute, so you will learn from industry experts. What’s more, thanks to our collaboration with Nedap, NXP, and similar companies, you will expand your internship and research prospects. Learning by doing is central to our specialisation, and you will have access to modern facilities, including the anechoic room where you can conduct antenna and electromagnetic compatibility tests.
As a graduate of the Master's in Electrical Engineering with a specialisation in Radio Systems, you have acquired specific scientific knowledge, skills, and values that will help you in your future career.
