Advanced Wireless Communications Research Laboratory
In this laboratory, ambitious and exciting research projects in the field of wireless
communications are realized. They include advanced MIMO technologies, communi-
cations with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and practical implementation of so-
ftware-defined platforms. There are evaluation boards PicoZed SDR (ADRV9361),
Xilinx ZC702/706 modules with AD9361 transceivers, six MIMO transceivers suppor-
ted by FPGA platforms. There are also six computationally powerful PCs, with specia-
list software tools, such as MATLAB/Simulink by Mathworks, FPGA Vivado by Xilinx, as
well as software delivered by Mentor Graphics for the simulation and verification of
FPGAs.
Mobile Radiocommunications and Cognitive Radio Laboratory
This laboratory is of mixed nature: both didactic and research. It involves practical
exercises in various fields, such as: basic features of wireless signal propagation, cel-
lular networks of all generations (2G-6G), radio measurements, software-defined
and cognitive radio, as well as cellular network design.The laboratory is also
equipped with highly advanced measurement devices, such as, signal generators
(Rohde&Schwarz, Tektronix, Philips), spectrum and signal analyzers
(Rohde&Schwarz, Agilent, Anritsu), radiocommunication testers (Rohde&Schwarz),
digital oscilloscopes (Agilent, Tektronix). There are also software defined radio modules,
mainly USRP N200, N210, USRP 1, and USRP B210, as well as evaluation boards with digital
signal processors by Texas Instruments.
