In particular the Group is focused onmodeling, simulation and computer aided design ofcircuits and systems – including electro-chemical- 10 -microsystems. The Group has established cooperationwith several European Centers and isparticipating in domestic as well as internationalresearch programs (e.g. EU FP5 SEWING Project).Research Group on Digital Systems and DigitalSignal Processing(Head – Professor Tomasz Adamski, 4 members).The Group’s main areas of research can begrouped into four categories:• Electronic Circuits (digital and pulse circuits,PLL circuits, analogue/digital converters anddata acquisition boards),• Digital systems (cryptology, microprocessorsystems, parallel processing algorithms andsystems, multimedia technology),• Digital signal processing (solving of illconditionedproblems, algebraic methods in DSPand its application in digital systems, processingof stochastic signals),• Computer-aided measurement systems (virtualinstruments, spectral analysers, correction ofmeasurement systems based on DSP) and theproblem of noise in electronic circuits andsystems.Research Group on Pulse and Digital Equipment(Head - Stefan Misiaszek, Ph.D., till September 30,2002, Tomasz Starecki, Ph.D., since October 1, 2002,5 members).The main subjects of interest of the Groupinclude:• Elements, circuits and systems of fast pulsetechnology,• Design and analysis of wide bandwidth samplingcircuits,• Methods of computer aided modeling of fastswitching elements and circuits,• Pulse power circuits,• Electronic systems for the motor car industry,• Computer simulators for systems and circuitsdesign,• Application of microprocessor technology inmeasurement equipment.Research Group on Biomedical Instrumentation(Head - Antoni Grzanka, Ph.D., 7 members).The main area of teaching and research activity isconcentrated on the development of new methods andinstrumentation dedicated to medical applications.Also some projects are carried out on themeasurement and modeling of selected organs. Thecurrent research is focused on the following topics:
