As a group, we provide a complete Radio Systems specialization within the EE Master programme.
We also offer Bachelor/Master/internship assignments related to our research, our industry partners, or a combination of both.
1) SIGNAL PROCESSING AND COMMUNICATIONS (MODULE 8-EE)
RS group participates in Module 8 of the bachelor of electrical engineering (B-EE) programme. This module is composed of three courses: PT, DSP and COM. RS group is involved in DSP and COM.
- Probability Theory for EE (PT)
- Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
- Communication Systems (COM)
2) FIELDS AND WAVES (MODULE 4-EE and Module 7-AT)
RS group supports Module 4 the bachelor of electrical engineering (B-EE) and Module 7 of the bachelor of advanced technology (B-AT). In this modules, students learn basic theory of electromagnetism. The module consists of the following main topics:
3) Electronic system design (MODULE 11-EE)
RS group is part of Module 11 of the bachelor of electrical engineering (B-EE). This module is a T-shaped module focused on one hand on the deepening of the electrical engineering knowledge through embedded signal processing and, on the other hand, on the broadening of the knowledge in the fields of system design and philosophy of design. Embedded Signal Processing (ESP) course is one of the courses taught in this module and is composed of three topics: ESP-ANA, ESP-MIX, and ESP-DIG. RS group is resonsible for ESP-DIG.
- Embedded Signal Processing - Analog (ESP-ANA)
- Embedded Signal Processing - Mixed (ESP-MIX)
- Embedded Signal Processing - Digital (ESP-DIG)
4) Computer Systems (MODULE 5-EE)
RS group is part of Module 5 of the bachelor of electrical engineering (B-EE). The mathematical section of the module, differential and difference equations, will prepare you for module 6. In this module, you will follow courses like Computer Architecture and Organisation, Digital Hardware and Continuous Linear Systems. The latter is under the responsibility of RS group.
- Continuous Linear Systems (CLS)
- Digital Hardware
- Computer Architecture and Organisation
RS group is also responsible for Linear Systems for Pre-masters: 202001185.
5) Foundations of Create (MODULE 1-CT)
In addition to the above, RS group contributes to Module 1 of the CreaTe bachelor programme where it supports Tools & Hackaton Theme 2 and Sense-Process-Act in which students integrate knowledge obtained during lectures into practical, electronic designs based on the Sense-Process-Act principle.
Currently, we offer the following five courses as a core part of our M-EE Master specialization 'Radio Systems':
1) WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS (WiCoS)
Wireless Comunnication Systems course provides system-level view of the physical layer design of wireless communication systems. It extends the knowledge of the basic elements of a wireless communication link to a comprehensive functional view of a wireless communication system and provides a skillset for practical system design and analysis.
2) Smart antennas (SAN)
Smart Antennas course aims to bring the student to understand the key aspects of (smart) antenna theory, design and measurement techniques (including practical hands on laboratory exercises) as well as fundamental factors involved in propagation in radio channels.
3) 5G/6G Communication and Sensing Channels (5G/6G ComSens)
5G/6G ComSens course (formerly known as Mobile Radio Communications) provides fundamental principles of mobile radio communication and their performance evaluation. This course starts from the fundamentals of radio propagation and digital communications, and extends to the core techniques in radio system design and the countermeasures against dispersive mobile radio channel.
4) Advanced Communication and Radar Systems (ACARS)
ACARS course provides knowledge and understanding of the design and performance analysis of advanced multiple antenna systems with application to the latest wireless systems. It will hep you to understand different transmission and reception schemes and algorithms and their advantages and relative performance gains over various types of MIMO channels.
5) Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
EMC course provides the knowledge and skills to recognize non-ideal behaviors in electronic components and explore ESD phenomena, shielding strategies, and methods to control conducted EMI. Additionally, it provides insights into minimizing crosstalk effects, reducing radiated EMI emissions, and enhancing system immunity. This course also provides a comprehensive foundation for navigating the intricacies of EMC in electronic design.

We also contribute to the Master course Embedded Computer Architectures 2 that focuses on systematic synthesis of computing architectures from applications.
With our Radio Systems M-EE specialization we provide a comprehensive, individually tailored, study programme in the physical level design, organization and application of the state-of-the-art wireless technologies essential for anyone interested in telecommunications. Whenever possible we combine theory with practice to prepare students for careers in academia or industry. We ensure that our students have excellent peer guidance and are working on the newest challenges in the areas of wireless communication and sensing.
The 5-day intensive TEMPEST course provides a generic overview of the fundamental TEMPEST concepts and the key EMC measures to prevent compromising emanations.
