Department of Fundamentals of Radio Engineering was founded in 1930​

Summary

The department activities are related to the organization of the educational process in the areas of radio engineering, bio-medical and bio-engineering and to conducting of fundamental and applied research​.

Research areas

  • research and development of surface acoustic wave-based sensors and resonators;

  • development of methods for processing biomedical, optical and acoustic signals;
  • development and investigation of the properties of new types of dielectric and metal-dielectric waveguide structures and devices based on them;
  • automation of radio measurements;
  • digital signal processing with Scilab, Octave, Python and Julia.

Recent projects

  • Surface acoustic wave-based vibration sensors
  • Development of multi-channel electrocardiographic signals acquisition system for mapping of the heart electrical activity on the epicardium surface
  • Development of an algorithm for reconstructing the heart electrical activity on the epicardium surface
  • Simulation of the electrical work of the heart using cellular automata
  • Development of a software and hardware installation for automated ultrasonic monitoring of trunk pipelines
  • EHF dielectric waveguide antenna feed
  • A measuring setup for the monitoring and certification of supercapacitors
  • Development of a hardware-software complex for removing unwanted objects from video in real time
  • Smart wireless system for measuring and cloud-based processing of environmental parameters by LoRa-capable smart sensors

Features

For the educational process, including student projects, the department has modern measuring instruments from National Instruments, Rohde & Schwarz, digital oscilloscopes, generators, soldering stations, etc. Student projects of the department are aimed at developing prototypes of portable electronic devices, including medical instruments based on modern single-board computers and PC boards with microcontrollers - Raspberry Pi, Olimex Olinuxino, STM32, AVR / Arduino and alike.

The huge interest of modern life are research and design Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) for  Industry 4.0. The main stream of research are  Cyper-Physical Systems (CPS), Smart Home, Smart City, Smart Healthcare.  IoT systems connecting  different devises to smart greed by modern communication technologies, such as 4G, Ethernet, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LoRa, ZigBee, Z-Wave, SigFox and others.  

Unique equipment

The research laboratories of the department have unique equipment:

  • Technological facilities for fabrication of electronic components based on metallic, dielectric and high temperature superconducting thin films by means of vacuum coating and photolithography;
  • An automated setup for investigation of cryogenic microwave devices;
  • A setup for measurement SAW device frequency response variation with temperature;
  • An automated measurement setup for investigation of field characteristics in millimeter-wave devices.
