Communication Technologies Division

The aim of the Communications Technologies Division (CTD) research is to address the most endeavoring challenges that future communications technologies will face: those of energy and bandwidth efficiency. CTD research has a strong experimental emphasis, achieved through the use of demonstrators and testbeds, and the focus is on component (subsystem) level and also on PHY and MAC layers.

CTD has four departments:
