Research Interests
Dr. Konstanty Bialkowski's research interests lie in the area
of communication systems, passive radar and signal
processing, and specifically in the areas of wireless sensing
and communication. Some interesting aspects include the
baseband processing and channel estimation using software
defined radios, FPGAs and DSPs and the applications to high
reliability or high data rate communications, radio-frequency
identification, wireless sensing and biomedical applications.
Projects
- Road monitoring and anomaly detection using microwave
based sensors
- Continuous monitoring of whole-body vibration and jolts
and jars associated with earth moving equipment
- Biomedical microwave/electromagnetic imaging: in
applications like stroke detection, or fluid accumulation in
the lungs
Past student projects
I have supervised over 60 thesis projects over the years,
with the topics being mainly from the following areas:
- Multistatic passive radar: detection, clutter
cancellation, real-time processing using CUDA and OpenCL,
DAB, DVB-T and DVB-S based.
- RFID: resolving collisions using multiple antennas and
source separation techniques, applications in road sensing
using RFID enabled license plates, SDR based readers for ISO
18000, ISO1443, ISO15693.
- Microwave/Electromagnetic Imaging systems: Low-cost
systems using SDR, Solid-state switching systems, Microwave
transceiver system, wideband frequency oscillator,
agricultural applications of EM imaging.
- Communication systems: 5G waveforms, channel esimation
for LTE, DVB-T decoder, transferring video via x264, ADS-B,
Cognitive radio wireless networks
- GPS: software defined GPS, extensions using RTK for
higher accuracy
