Laboratory of fiber optic technology
Research works in this laboratory located in the Department of Electronic and Telecommunications Systems are carried out in the field of optoelectronic sensors, mainly fiber optic, fiber-polymer and fiber-liquid crystal sensors, issues of fiber optic transmission and optoelectronic elements.
The laboratory is equipped with modern equipment such as optical spectrum analyzers, digital oscilloscopes, optical-electrical converters, polarization analyzers and controllers, lasers and others.
Laboratory of microprocessor technology
This laboratory of the Department of Electronic and Telecommunications Systems is primarily educational in nature, therefore research is not conducted directly there. Nevertheless, on the basis of the commissioning kits for microprocessor systems, a number of works related to the design and production of electronic devices, necessary to conduct experiments in other laboratories of the Department, are carried out.
The laboratory is equipped with the necessary computer hardware and software as well as development kits for many types of single-chip microcomputers (including companies such as Intel, Cygnal, Atmel, Microchip, Analog Devices, Motorola) with different types of architecture, i.e. RISC, CISC, DSP , '51, ARM, 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit etc. The stations are also equipped with additional equipment facilitating the design work, including a set of logic analyzers and specialized multi-functional power supplies.
Laboratory of computer networks, converged systems and complex IT systems
Research conducted in the laboratory concerns a wide range of issues in the field of design and operation of complex communication systems, including effective and trouble-free data transmission in the environment of ICT networks. The laboratory conducts different research activities in the broad area of computer networks. There are also performed tasks related to the design and configuration of network infrastructure based on both a homogeneous and heterogeneous environment of computer networks. The scope of acitvity relates to enterprise class networks, used in Industry 4.0 and energy. Laboratory equipment allows to test ready-made solutions before implementing them for production or operation in the proof of concept scenario.
In addition to the network equipment of the leading manufacturers: Cisco, Alcatel-Lucent, Juniper Networks, there are software and hardware traffic generators, traffic analyzers and simulation platforms (eg Riverbed Modeler, Omnet). Research can be done on computer stations, structural cabling (copper and fiber), auxiliary servers and private cloud resources.
