 Under construction
The Communication Research Laboratory was established to support
research and development in areas related to communication engineering.
Major Facilities
An extensive range of high-end equipment is available for supporting
communication systems development and characterisation, ranging from
design and prototyping of circuits to measurement of transceiver
sensitivity, spectral emissions, bit error rate and frame error rate.
A dedicated LEO satellite tracking groundstation is available for
satellite communication research in the VHF and UHF bands with
extensions to L- and S-bands.
Ku-band satellite beacon receivers and a Ka-band microwave link
are available for system studies into effects of rain and performance
enhancements using site diversity.
Computing facilities in the laboratory are provided through a cluster
of HP-UX workstations and X-terminals networked together through
a 100 VG LAN.
Software available in the cluster includes
MDS, EESOF Series IV, SPW, BONES, COSSAP, SYNOPSIS, DSP stations and MATLAB.
