Department of Communication

Communication is a field that addresses the challenge of how to efficiently and effectively transmit information from one place to the other. The mission of the Communication Engineering program is to provide high quality education on recognition, analysis and implementation of analog and digital communication systems to its students. It places special emphasis on stationary and mobile communication, satellite, optical fiber, data transmission technology and other related branches. It should be mentioned that the improvements in communicational technologies are originated from military’s communication developments. The communicational engineering makes the optimized application of procedures possible, by introducing new theories and fundamentals required for constructing connection between two or more operators. Data transmission net expansion comprises of regular transmission line expansion, switching devices, connections between operators and etc. The current research areas in this department include: Design and Implementation of Mobile and Wireless Communication Systems; Multimedia Compression & Communications; Coding and Information Theory; Communication Signal Processing; Microwave and Antenna Design; Design and Implementation of High-Frequency Circuits; Optical Communications (Fiber and Free-Space); Photonics (Integrated optical circuits, Laser, Photonic Crystals); Metamaterials and Nano-Photonics.
