General Information
DSPLAB (Digital Signal Processing Laboratory) is an R&D laboratory established in 2002 within Karadeniz Technical University to conduct research on digital communication technologies and wireless communication systems.
During the establishment of the laboratory, Texas Instruments provided a grant of $12,000 and project support with a budget of $45,000. Within the laboratory, one TÜBİTAK 1503 and one TÜBİTAK 1003 project have been successfully completed.
Within DSP LAB, education and industry-oriented research is conducted on digital signal processors (DSP), ARM-based processors, and Bluetooth 5, LoRa, ZigBee, and 6LoWPAN-based communication technologies. The laboratory also has the infrastructure to detect, analyze, and synthesize radio signals up to 10 GHz frequency.
Vision
DSPLAB aims to contribute to the development of innovative, reliable, and high-performance communication technologies by conducting research at international standards in the fields of digital signal processing, wireless communication systems, embedded communication technologies, and next-generation communication infrastructures.
The laboratory also aims to develop sustainable engineering solutions in the areas of smart communication systems, low-power wireless networks, IoT-based communication infrastructures, and real-time embedded systems.
Scientific Working Principles
Scientific Reliability Academic integrity, scientific ethics, transparency, and verifiable research methods are accepted as fundamental principles in all research activities.
Interdisciplinary Approach The integrated evaluation of communication systems, digital signal processing, embedded systems, electromagnetics, and wireless network technologies is encouraged.
Equitable and Inclusive Research Culture An inclusive research environment offering equal opportunities for all researchers regardless of gender, language, religion, nationality, or academic background is adopted within the laboratory.
Balance Between Research and Application Theoretical studies are aimed to be supported by experimental validations, real-time applications, and industrial communication systems.
Research and Application Areas
Within DSP LAB, research and development activities are conducted in the following areas:
Graduate Thesis Studies
Within DSP LAB, master's and doctoral thesis studies based on simulation-based analyses and real-time experimental applications are conducted in the areas of digital signal processing, digital communications, wireless communication systems, embedded communication infrastructures, and RF applications.
