Smart Electronic Systems

Research fields

The junction of electronics, computers and telecommunications defines the ”vector” for the activity and development strategy of the centre for integrated electronic systems. The research aims at designing computer-based systems (embedded systems) and computational intelligence, radio-communications and intelligent communication networks, image processing and analysis, signal reception and processing, chip integrated systems as well as power applications based on supercapacitors.

Infrastructure

• VIPERA System, configurable for colour and multispectral imaging and video signal reception at 500 fps for various applications
• PXI National Instruments System for reception, testing, imaging, processing and tele-monitoring for the bio-medical field
• Semiautomatic protoLaser equipment for prototyping printed cabling and component placemen on electronic boards
• ATCA routing and switching system for integrated service computer networks (data, wireless multimedia streaming and security) and VNA system for the vectorial analysis of telecommunications networks.
• Signal generating system for mobile communications
• Impedance electrical spectrometer endowed with power potentiostat, suitable software and reversible controllable power source.
• High definition digital LeCroy 4GHz oscilloscope.
