Radiocommunications Laboratory
Description
The Laboratory of Radiocommunications (LRC) develops applied research and academic activities in the field of radiocommunications, radio propagation, and applied electromagnetism, with emphasis on analyzing signal behavior in different atmospheric and technological environments.
Research areas
Atmospheric attenuation in terrestrial and satellite radiocommunication systems: study of the effects of rain, clouds, and gases on signal propagation.
Measurement and analysis of radio meteorology data: analysis of radiosondes, rainfall measurement, ERA5 climate reanalysis, and GNSS-based meteorology.
Implementation and measurement of radiocommunication systems: development and evaluation of systems using LoRa, SDR, and 802.11 technologies.
Teaching in radiocommunications and applied electromagnetism: training in satellite and wireless communications, radio propagation, and applied electromagnetism.
Institutional focus
The LRC integrates research, experimentation, and teaching, contributing to specialized training and the development of technological solutions in the field of telecommunications.
