MSc in Wireless Communication and Signal Processing

This innovative Masters degree programme will provide you with a range of advanced topics drawn from wireless communications and communications related signal processing (including associated enabling technologies).

Pioneering research projects
Bristol Is Open (BIO) is a joint venture between the University of Bristol and Bristol City Council. Bristol Is Open has developed an open programmable ICT infrastructure which offer 'City Experimentation as a Service (CEaaS)', providing a user-defined experimental environment in the heart of our city. As a student on this programme BIO will encourage you to engage with the project and develop experiments which will use this unique facility.

Our student's projects

On this programme you'll have the opportunity to work on fascinating and wide-ranging projects.

Below are example project proposals:

Impedance Prediction for Electrical Balanced Transformer

Supervised by: Dr. Mark Beach

The project aims included measuring the antenna impedance variance for outdoor environment and proposing a suitable method for adaptive antenna impedance prediction.
Linearization of Power Amplifiers using Generic Predistortion

Supervised by: Dr. Kevin Morris

Among the project's objectives were choosing the dataset and prediction window, wind speed forecasting and looking at the relationship between wind speed and power output.

Our facilities

The MSc in Wireless Communication and Signal Processing programme will give you access to state-of-the-art facilities at the University:

Toshiba's Telecommunications Research Laboratory (TRL)
The Telecommunications Research Laboratory (TRL) is at the cutting-edge of research into technologies including next generation wireless networking, reconfigurable device architectures and 'smart' systems for energy, mobile and medical applications. Around 10-15 students will have the opportunity to work on a research project at this facility.
