Communications and Information Engineering (CIE)

Telecommunication is one of the fastest-evolving technology domains and has fundamentally changed our lives. On the one hand, telecommunication has become ubiquitous, and on the other hand, communication has evolved from textual over voice towards visual communication—natural for visual beings like us but challenging technologically.

Consequently, the Telecommunications Lab at Electrical Engineering, Chulalongkorn Universiry has two research foci: The future of video content and technologies to transmit such content wirelessly even under high mobility, e.g., in automotive applications. In both research areas, artificial intelligence in the form of deep neural networks plays an increasingly important role.

The content is separated into the following areas:

Antennas: The student will learn the techniques to measure the parameters that characterize an antenna. Arrays of antennas are also studied. The measurement system consists of a spectrum analyzer, a computer system and a positioner.

Microwave circuits and systems: In this table, the different elements that make up a microwave radio link will be studied and characterized. The instrumentation in this case, consists of a 20 GHz network analyzer, a measurement system noise figure, an RF generator up to 20 GHz, and other aids.

Digital modulation: Learn the techniques of digital modulation used to transmit information. The table contains a digital RF generator, a vector analyzer, a software to perform advanced digital demodulation and other helpers. Different types of digital modulations will be studied and analyzed: QPSK, FSK, QAM … and the students will be introduced to the most common problems in order to better understand the process of modulation – demodulation.

Mobile Communications: Mobile communication systems have become very important, the GSM mobile phone system and DECT cordless phones are two examples. The knowledge of these systems is essential for an engineer in communication systems. In this case there is a GSM, DCS and PCS-1800 and DECT analyzer.

Telephone systems: The table consists of two interconnected PBX that must be accurately programmed. Signalling functionalities, types of services and programs that enable these PBX are analyzed.
