OBJECTIVES
To train design and development engineers in the field of telecommunications circuits and systems who have a thorough grounding in signal processing, digital communication, telecommunications networks, and radio communications and hyperfrequency electronics.
EMPLOYMENT SECTORS
Telecommunications and consumer electronics, including mobile telephone technology, digital television, telecommunications networks, hyperfrequency electronics, and the automotive industry.
TYPICAL JOBS
The training in both analog and digital technologies prepares the student for work as a:
- Designer of circuits and systems for fixed and mobile communications
- Telecommunications engineer
- Developer of signal processing applications
- Specialist in a particular technology, such as signal processors, hyperfrequecy circuits, etc
This work is generally carried out in teams. With experience, one can move on to such positions as product manager, quality engineer, or project manager.
EXAMPLES OF INTERNSHIP AND PROJECTS
- Design of a 5.6 GHz transmission/reception system;
- Measurement and simulation of a DECT/GSM integrated circuit;
- Development of a quality measurement tool for the GSM network;
- Improvement of GSM network planning tools;
- Study and positioning of low-rate automatic voice response systems on a DSP;
- Study of error correcting codes in high-rate optical transmissions underwater.
OPTION: Technology Management Information Systems
For the second year you can choose this option. It give you access to jobs such as project manager, sales engineer, technological marketing, etc.
RESEARCH FIELDS IN TELECOMMUNICATION AND SIGNAL PROCESSING
- Wireless communications (transceiver architecture for cognitive radio, uwb, rfid)Microwaves photonics.
- Signal processing, coding of signals and images.
- Nomadic applications and ambient intelligence (information devices for people with sensory disability)
