CommLab
Testing Satellite and Terrestrial Communication Systems
The Communication Laboratory (CommLab) is used for research and testing of signal processing techniques for both satellite and terrestrial communication systems. Activities carried out in this facility are mostly focused on wireless communication systems to test and validate digital signal processing algorithms, while facing real implementation issues and constraints on real-time hardware platforms.
The aim is to develop proof-of-concepts through real-time wireless communication testbeds used to model, design and test the digital signal processing algorithms studied by the SIGCOM research group for satellite/terrestrial systems. The applications under development vary from interference management techniques for satellite communication, emulation of satellite communication systems, spectrum sensing for cognitive radio (CR) technologies, spectrum monitoring and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems.
