These fundamental tools are used for designing and analyzing complex, data-driven systems. The program offers three complementary focus areas: Signal Processing, Radar Systems, and Network Science.

Program Structure

The program is structured as follows:

• First Year (60 EC)
  • 1st quarter: EE Common Course, Track Core
  • 2nd quarter: Theme, Discipline
  • 3rd quarter: Theme, Interdisciplinary Project
  • 4th quarter: Theme, EE Deep Dive

Focus Areas

The program offers three focus areas:

• Signal Processing: This focus area covers the theory, design, and application of advanced signal processing methods. Students gain expertise in topics such as array processing, detection and estimation, sampling theory, distributed processing, convex optimization, graph signal processing, and machine learning.
• Network Science: This focus area studies complex networks by representing them as graphs consisting of nodes and links. It combines mathematics, physics, engineering, computer science, medical science, and sociology to understand the fundamental principles behind various interconnected systems.
• Radar Systems: This focus area covers the full chain of wireless systems for sensing, including electromagnetic wave radiation, propagation and scattering, analogue and digital beamforming, and signal processing for detection, positioning, tracking, classification, and imaging in complex environments.

Laboratory Facilities

The program provides access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, including:

• Radar Laboratory
• Delft University Chamber for Antenna Tests (DUCAT)
• Audio Lab
• TU Delft Swarming Lab

Research Groups

The program is connected to several research groups, including:
