1. GENERAL INFORMATIONINSTITUTE OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS - <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2002</strong>1.1. Mission and organisation of the InstituteIn recent years the teaching and researchactivities in the Institute of Electronic Systems havebeen concentrated in design, construction andmaintenance of analogue, digital and mixedelectronic systems and instrumentation, low and highfrequency, microwave and optical, with manydifferent applications: measurement and control,radio - and telecommunication, medical and radar,with strong utilisation of digital, microprocessor andcomputer techniques and software engineering. In theInstitute, there are performed teaching and researchactivities in the areas of CAD systems for VLSIanalogue, digital and mixed electronic circuits andsystems, micro electro-mechanical systems, designand measurements of monolithic microwaveintegrated circuits for communication systems,computer controlled measurement systems, numericalmethods, digital signal processing for radar signals,and for biomedical signals, analogue and digitalfiltering, neural networks, artificial intelligence,molecular (DNA) computing, semiconductor andsmart sensors, measurement and test systems, flowsensors and flow measurements, optoelectronicmetrology, non-linear fiber optics, optical fiberdevices, optical fiber sensors and image processing.Traditionally, the Institute is responsible forteaching basic electronic courses such as: CircuitTheory, Signals and Systems, Electronic Circuits andElements, Basics of Electrical Measurements andElectronic Measurements, but the main teaching andresearch involvement of the Institute is in theadvanced and modern areas of electronics andinformation technology presented above. In a newtwo-stage teaching system at the Faculty, the Instituteis responsible for performance of a specialisation:Electronic and Computer Engineering. In manyaspects these two areas of science and engineeringhave common fields. Staff members of the Instituteperform most of the teaching activities forElectronics and Computer Engineering speciality, butalso they teach and participate in classes of otherspecialisation.Like other institutes of the Faculty, the IES isstructured into Divisions. The Institute has fourDivisions:Circuit and Signal Theory Divisionincorporates three Research Groups:• Research Group on Nonlinear Networks,• Research Group on Digital Methods of SignalProcessing,• Research Group on Radar Signals ProcessingSystems.Microwave Circuits and Instrumentation Divisionincorporates one Research Group:• Research Group on Microwave Circuits andInstrumentation.Electronic Circuits and Systems Divisionincorporates four Research Groups:• Research Group on Electronic AnalogueCircuits,• Research Group on Digital Systems and DigitalSignal Processing,• Research Group on Pulse and DigitalEquipment,• Research Group on BiomedicalInstrumentation.Electronic Instrumentation and OptoelectronicDivisionincorporates five Research Groups:• Research Group on Sensors,• Research Group on Industrial MeasurementSystems,• Research Group on Automatic Test Systems,• Research Group on Optoelectronic Circuits,• Research Group on Neural Networks andAdaptive Measurement Systems.Independent Research Group on ArtificialIntelligence.- 6 -
