Signals and Digital Communications
The group incorporates three centres of expertise, namely the Centre for Radio and Digital Communication (CRDC), the Centre for Telecommunication Engineering for the Information Society (CeTEIS) as well as the Sentech Chair in Broadband Wireless Multimedia Communications (BWMC). CRDC concentrates on telecommunication-related projects such as digital wireless radio communications (static and mobile), as well as multiple-access systems and the development of signalling protocols for mobile cellular communication networks. Activities include the development of high speed digital modems for microwave and satellite applications, the design and digital realisation of advanced error correction techniques, as well as the measurement, analysis, design and synthesis of appropriate fading channel models in the HF - SHF frequency bands. CeTEIS focusses primarily on the fixed network and information security, but also addresses the latest broadband cellular (3G & 4G) and WLAN standards.
