Location of Chalmers University of Technology
Over the past decade, photonics and wireless technology have grown at an exceptional rate. The backbone of modern telecom infrastructure consists of optical fibre-based systems in combination with wireless technology, some of it on satellites to provide global coverage.
The investments in future telecom systems will have a profound impact on social and economic development. Medical applications of photonics and microwave technology are numerous, and measurement applications include radar, environmental monitoring and radio astronomy.
In space science, satellite systems based on microwave technology are used for astronomy, remote sensing of the Earth and space geodesy. Space systems also aid our everyday life: television broadcasts, navigation and weather forecasts are well known examples.
Graduates of the programme have solid knowledge of wireless, photonics and space engineering on a system level as well as specialised skills in a chosen subfield.
Who should apply
The programme is intended for physics and electrical engineering students interested in the technology and science of this fascinating field. Through elective courses, students can specialise in wireless, photonics or space engineering, or a combination thereof.
Contents
The programme offers a unique opportunity to study a combination of subjects for which Chalmers has world-class facilities: Onsala Space Observatory with radio telescopes and equipment to study the Earth and its atmosphere, the Nanofabrication Laboratory with a cleanroom for research into and fabrication of micro and nanotechnology and state-of-the-art photonics and microwave measurement equipment in research laboratories.
Elective courses
Students can choose from a wide range of elective courses, including the following:
* Image processing
* Modern imaging
* Introduction to communication engineering
* Radioastronomical techniques and interferometry
* Applied signal processing
* Introduction to microsystem packaging
* Fundamentals of micro- and nanotechnology
