The Microwave and Optical Communications research area activities revolve around microwave and optoelectronic technologies and techniques for use in communications and radar.  The group is involved with modelling and simulation of modern wireless (radio) and optoelectronic communication systems.  It is also engaged with the design and development of computer algorithms for measurement and control of microwave and optoelectronic hardware.

Its present focus is on multiple-element antennas and associated signal processing techniques (also known as smart antennas), ultra wideband microwave imaging and target recognition, design and modelling of short-reach optical interconnects and modelling and characterisation of optical emitters for high-speed digital communication systems.
