M.Tech Communication Systems
M.Tech. Communication Systems, a specialized Master’s Program in IOT & 5G, is envisioned to develop competent academic and research personnel in this fast advancing and high-in-demand area of Communication Systems. It comprises of Courses on RF systems, Smart Antennas, Optical networks, Satellite Communication, GPS, Communication networks, Signal processing, Embedded sensor networks, Computational Intelligence, Software Defined Radio (SDR), Internet of Things (IOT) to name a few, that prepares the students to address different issues in data compression, signal distortion & enhancement, MIMO antennas, Artificial Intelligence, LTE systems, OFDM, Cognitive Radio in wireless networks and Telecommunication systems.
The students get hands on training in design and simulation of Microwave devices and components using FEKO (EM simulation software) and fabrication using Eleven Lab (Fabrication unit). Signal processing using MATLAB and DSP processors and Optical Communication using OTDR, network evaluation using simulation software and advanced communication trainers develop technical skills in students and prepare them for the industry.
