TECH – COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING AND SIGNAL PROCESSING

Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering

Communication engineering and Signal processing applications have been rapidly growing
and evolving over the past few years. Ubiquitous communication is becoming a necessity for
the society. The proposed M.Tech. Program is designed to offer not only in-depth theoretical
knowledge in the area of Communications, Signal Processing, and Wireless Networks, but
also system modeling and integration aspects emphasizing overall system behavioral studies
in a laboratory. Such courses are unique and fall in-line with the requirements from the
industries. At the end of the programme the student achieves the ability to identify pressing
research issues and research directions in Communications, Signal Processing, and Wireless
Networks.
