current research topics
Mobile communications, the Internet and the fixed network are growing together and are networked by global fiber-optic systems. For the ever-increasing demands on bandwidth and availability, we will have to use the existing frequency resources in cables and in radio much more efficiently. Additional frequency ranges are being opened up for completely new transmission methods, such as ultra-wideband radio systems. The transfer of multimedia data will require significantly higher data transmission rates in the future, and security in communications networks will demand new concepts.
Abroad & Internships
The program does not require a mandatory internship. The lecturers provide support in arranging stays abroad, which can usually be smoothly integrated into the Master's Programme.
