Advanced Radio Technology Team

"Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!"

The Advanced Radio Technology team was founded in February 2013 by Dr. Oualid Hammi. It gathers researchers and students actively working on areas related to Advanced Radio Technology. This includes but is not limited to:

1. Digital signal processing techniques for enhancing the RF front end performances

2. Advanced digital predistortion techniques.

3. Impairments compensation in RF transmitters.

4. Power amplifiers and transmitters design for wireless applications.

5. Microwave devices and systems measurements and characterization.

The objective is to develop innovative solutions for emerging communication infrastructure by synergistically combining analog RF design and digital signal processing techniques.
