Digital Communications and Systems Lab (DCS)
Innovative Research on Contemporary Communication Systems
Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know Jim Rohn used to say, or how you share what you know we could state. Telecommunications have a vital role in the progress of human society and life itself. Nowadays, digital communication systems, like the itnernet, the mobile phones and emails are used daily from most of us.
Digital Communications and Systems Lab (DCS Lab) focuses on scientific research for innovative technology in the area of telecommunications. Its main effort is educational and research services on modern and new subjects, including ground and aerial communication systems, networks, unmanned vehicles and free space optics.
