Signal processing for wireless positioning

Department of Communications Engineering, Digital Transmission group

Tampere University of Technology (TUT)

The Signal Processing for wireless positioning group is working under Digital Transmission Group (DTG) at the Department of Communications Engineering (DCE) at the Tampere University of Technology (TUT). Our target is to perform research and provide teaching in the area of mobile wireless positioning. Currently, our main research direction is in the GNSS baseband receiver design and satellite-based signal processing algorithms for positioning.

Research topics Baseband receiver processing (acquisition, tracking, ...) Binary Offset Carrier (BOC) modulation studies Wireless positioning (UMTS/WCDMA mobile positioning, Galileo, GPS and modernized GPS, GLONASS, ...)
