EE Labs

  • Analog, RF, and Mixed-Signal Design Laboratory
  • The RF and Microwave laboratory will support teaching, research and development of RF and microwave systems, and antenna designs. Researchers in this laboratory will design, fabricate, and test new RF / microwave / millimeter-wave circuits both in the board-level and chip-level. They will also design new antennas for different applications. All of these activities are supported by good facilities for simulations, prototyping, and measurement of RF / microwave components and systems.


  • Autonomous Systems Laboratory
  • Research in this laboratory focuses on information assurance, decision making, and video communications aspects in autonomous systems such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). This laboratory consists of infrastructure and simulation tools necessary to develop protocols for autonomous systems and analyze their performance. The laboratory also includes several indoor and outdoor robots to develop and test decentralized decision making and task scheduling algorithms. The infrastructure also includes a wireless video sensor network platform suitable for simulating applications such as video surveillance.


  • Communications and Signal Processing Laboratory
  • The Communication and Signal Processing Laboratory (CSPL) focuses on design and development of advanced communication techniques to provide efficient and robust information transmission over wired and wireless networks. Working in concert with academia and industry partners, CSPL is dedicated to research on coding, information theory, encryption, wireless networking, and software defined radio.

  • Computer Aided Design (CAD) Laboratory
  • The CAD laboratory will support teaching and high-quality research activities related to Analog, Digital, Mixed signal, VLSI/SoC (System-on-a-chip) design, Test and Test verification. The laboratory will support teaching and research activities by providing state-of-the-art software tools such as Cadence, Xilinx, LabVIEW, MATLAB, MultiSim, Advanced Design Systems, Mentor Graphics etc.

  • Speech, Music, and Digital Signal Processing Laboratory
  • Different acoustic aspects are studied experimentally in this laboratory. They include speech (production, perception, transmission, analysis and synthesis, recognition, speaker identification), ultrasound, hearing prosthetics, music (analysis, synthesis and transcription) and management of acoustic signals with applications of digital signal processing methods and devices.

  • Vision, Robotics, and Control Systems Laboratory
  • The main goal of this laboratory is to support research in the areas of pattern recognition, image processing, computer vision, computational intelligence, robotics, and allied areas. This laboratory consists of infrastructure and simulation tools for computer vision and pattern recognition applications and control systems design.

  • Wireless Systems and Sensor Networks Laboratory
  • The Wireless Systems and Sensor Networks Research Laboratory focuses on system-level issues that are critical for the design of high-performance wireless networks and intelligent sensor networks. Current research topics include energy efficient networking protocols for distributed sensor networks, experimental and theoretical study of wireless system performance, statistical and real-time signal processing, measurement and modeling of wireless channels, optimum network deployment and connectivity, and development of sensor networks for environmental monitoring applications.
