SRC – Communication Systems and Networks

The SRC Engineer

SRC engineers are generalists with expertise in electronics, computer science and signal processing, as well as in transmission and communication techniques.
Their broad scientific knowledge, social skills and open attitude towards industry, along with their aptitude in management and teamwork allow SRC engineers to work in professions that are as much enthralling as varied.

Four broad topics

• Electronics
  Information theory. Detection.  Estimation. Radio communications. Antennas. Digital communications. Coding. Optical-fibre transmission. Radar. Sonar. Advanced transmission techniques. Multi-media. Broadband. Embedded and wireless networks, etc.
• Computer science
  Signal theory. Analogue and digital signals. AD and DA conversions. Modulation and demodulation. Multiplexing. Analogue and digital signal processing. Signal processors. Equalisation. Spectrum spreading, etc.
• Signal processing
  Structure of computers. Micro-controllers. Assembler. Operating systems. C-language programming. Object-oriented programming, C++. Java. Simulation and CAD of systems. Computing projects, etc.
• Communications and transmissions
  Low-frequency digital and analogue electronics. High-frequency and ultra-high frequency. Nonlinear electronics. Electronic systems. Embedded electronics. Integrated systems, ASIC. Programmable systems. Micro-electronic devices. MMIC, etc.
  

Choice of two options in the 5th year of studies

• Electronic systems
• Communications networks

Supplementary training: It is possible to take The "Engineer in business”  thematic module with both options.
