The Communication Technologies track explores the core ICT subjects (digital transmission, signal processing, electromagnetism) in full depth, preparing students for all the challenges they will meet when working in ICT.
The focus is on physical layer technologies, such as modern multi-antenna systems, fiber optics channels, and quantum communication systems. Modern wireless systems are thoroughly addressed via dedicated courses. Theory lessons are complemented with lab-oriented courses
Mandatory subjects
The course gives the fundamental principles of radio communication in terms of channel behavior and technological exploitation, detailing the contexts of physical layer (PHY), channel access (LINK), and networking procedures (NET). The student will become knowledgeable about modern centralized and distributed wireless systems such as IEEE 802.11 (a/g/n/h) and Wireless Sensor Networks (IEEE 802.15.4). Also, (s)he will get to know related packet-based application-layer / network coding.
The program will be available soon…
Free choice subjects
All students are required to take an Internship of at least 2 months either in a Lab of the University of Padova, in an external Research Center, or in an Industry. Your internship might be anywhere – local, national, or international! You can find your internship yourself, with help from the Internship staff, or by faculty or advisor referral. We suggest you to match the Internship with your Final Year Project, in such a way to get the best out of it.
Students are asked to carry out a substantial individual project in their final year. Each project is supervised by a member of faculty, and is assessed via a written report (thesis) and a final presentation in front of an Academic Commission.
Cybersystems
The Cybersystems curriculum is devoted to the study of networking technologies, addressing the Internet and its protocols, the theoretical modeling of networked and wireless systems, as well as databases and Web applications.
Additionally, the student is exposed to optimization methods for the design of networks and ICT systems in general, machine/deep learning, cybersecurity. Theory lessons are complemented with lab-oriented courses.
Five mandatory courses serve to lay the theoretical and technical foundations. Then, the study path can be shaped according to the student’s interests (subject to the rules here below)

Multimedia
The Multimedia curriculum is devoted to the study of multimedia signals and systems, including their transmission over the Internet.
Theory-oriented courses lay the foundations of signals from source coding to their processing, lab-oriented courses are also available to provide hands-on experience. The study path is enriched with courses on machine/deep and reinforcement learning, cybersecurity/digital forensics, databases and Web applications.
