Centre for Communications Technology

Overview

Centre for Communications Technology has a long history of research, development and training which can be traced back to the mid-1940s when the need arose to train technical staff in the, then new, technologies of high frequency sensors and radar. This technology nowadays plays a pivotal role in enabling wireless communications, and plays a key role in the Faculty's activities. The Centre's research activity is organised into several areas:

Microwaves Wireless Systems
Optoelectronics and Nanotechnology
(including: Atomic Spectroscopy)
System, Simulation and Modelling
(including: Sensors, Measurement Techniques, Instrumentation and Control, and
Signal Processing)
Wireless Networks

The goal of the Centre is to develop low-cost, low-power semiconductor building blocks that can be integrated into a wide range of digital devices and operate at very high data rates. Technologies being investigated include agile radio, reconfigurable architecture, cognitive radio, smart antennas, ultra-broadband, optical devices and mixed-mode analogue/digital system design and simulation, including sampled data systems. The Centre maintains five hardware laboratories.

The Centre welcomes applications for MPhil/PhD research degrees on either a full-time or part-time basis.We strongly encourage industrially sponsored research projects. We are also happy to discuss any research proposal from individuals.
