Communications and Signal Processing Research Projects
Communications and signal processing, though distinct topics, share a strong overlap and form a joint thrust. Communications has evolved rapidly from the basic voice telephone service to a rich set of communications systems carrying voice, data, video, and other information. The integration of computers and communications systems has enabled powerful information systems for a wide range of applications. Advances in signal processing theory, physical technologies, and powerful digital signal processors (DSPs) have combined to dramatically expand the applications of signal processing. Research activities address three primary areas: theory, technology, and applications.
- Research in communications theory explores new principles for higher performance or improved analysis of communications systems. Signal processing theory research explores new principles for understanding and manipulation of analog and digital signals. These theoretical foundations drive a wide range of applied research. Recent research in the field of co-operative communications between multiple users as been supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
- Research on technologies extends from basic devices through full testbed systems. Projects includes photonics and high speed electronics for optical communications, advanced system packaging and interconnections for high performance communications and signal processing systems, parallel arrays of high performance DSPs for image processing, and other DSP-based functions for communications and intelligent sensors.
- Applications research includes information systems which integrate computing and communications. Recent work on distributed simulation of communication has been sponsored by the NSF.
Some of the current research areas are as follows; if you are interested in these areas please feel free to contact the listed faculty members.
