The Communications & Signal Processing Group, based in the Engineering Department within the University of Warwick comprises of more than thirty members and has a number of activities covering the multidisciplinary field of communications and digital signal processing.
Our research interests include optical and radio communications, digital signal processing and image processing. Furthermore, work is extended to areas such as neural networks, fuzzy logic and ultrasonic testing.
Please Note: No undergraduate student internships available.
We receive numerous enquiries regarding undergraduate student internships and placements. There are no opportunities for internships as such schemes do not fit at all well with our academic year, falling in the middle of examinations and marking. Also, there is no funding for such a placement here. Please do not Email us regarding internships. Your cooperation is appreciated.
The group is organised as follows:
Head of the Group: Professor Roger J. Green.
Affiliated Laboratories:
The Communication Systems Laboratory based in A205, mainly focuses on mobile and fixed networks, both in terms of the physical layer (hardware), as well as protocol structures, rooting and securing wireless communications. This covers a wide part of the communications spectrum, from microwaves to optical wavelengths (mm to nm).
The Intelligent Systems Engineering Laboratory deals with the engineering and applications of intelligent systems. Research focuses on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Genetic Algorithms (Gas), Fuzzy Logic (FL), and Neuro-Fuzzy Systems (NFS). Applications areas include sensors (e.g. the electronic nose), computer vision, as well a number of manufacturing and medical techniques.
The Digital Systems Laboratory focuses on research areas involving one- and two- dimensional digital signal processing (DSP), physical system modeling, image compression and sonar signal processing. In particular current research projects include design of efficient one- and two- dimensional digital filters, with a number of applications such as the use of wavelets in underwater signal detection.
The Image Processing & Expert System Laboratory concerns image (video) sequence processing, recovery of scene structure, hexagonal sampling/processing of images, as well as handwriting recognition. Applications include object retrieval from video databases, compression techniques and individual character recognition based on skeleton analysis.
The Applied Electromagnetics Laboratory (currently under creation) focuses on research on microwave devices & antennas, as well as numerical modelling for computational electromagnetics in telecommunications.
The Ultrasonics Laboratory is a multi-disciplinary group that is active in many areas of research, both in design and characterisation of novel ultrasonic transducer systems along with the practical application of the technology. Current active areas of interest include micromachined devices, focussed air-coupled transducers, transducer arrays, food packaging, Gas jets and theoretical modelling of device behaviour.
