The activities of the Telecommunication Engineering (TE) group span the
communications spectrum from copper cables, optical fibres, microwaves, radio and
electromagnetic compatibility. Our research concentrates on optical signal processing
and networks, mobile communications, microwave techniques and radiation
from ICs and PCBs. A considerable (and particularly interesting) part of it is related
to optical beam forming for phased array antennas, using optical ring resonators.
In this article the theoretical basics and practical challenges of this interesting
research topic will be summarized.
