Welcome

The Advanced Signal Processing Group (GTAS, in Spanish) is part of the Communications Engineering Department of the University of Cantabria. It is located at the E.T.S.I. Industriales y Telecomunicaciones, Avda Los Castros s/n. Santander 39005, SPAIN.

The GTAS conducts research in the development of digital signal processing algorithms for communications, as well as in machine-learning techniques, optimization, and nonlinear modeling. Currently, the research activity of the GTAS is focused on the following topics:

  • Signal processing techniques for wireless networks.
    • Advanced interference management techniques for multi-user MIMO systems (NOMA, rate-splitting, interference alignment, improper Gaussian signaling schemes, etc)
    • Detection and estimation in multi-sensor arrays.
    • Development of hardware MIMO testbeds and performance evaluation.
  • Machine-learning techniques and their applications.
    • Kernel methods, learning algorithms, and adaptive information processing systems.
    • Multivariate statistical techniques: PCA, CCA, and ICA.
    • Nonlinear modeling.

RACHEL project

The GTAS group has initiated in 2014 the RACHEL project "Radio Access Techniques for Heterogeneous Wireless Networks" (TEC2013-47141-C3-R), in collaboration with the Universidad de A Coruña, Universidad de Valencia and CEIT. The project is funded by the Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (Plan Nacional I+D+I).

Special Session at ICASSP 2015

David Ramírez (former GTAS member) is co-organizing, with Javier Vía (GTAS Member) and Louis Scharf (Colorado State University), a special session at the IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), to be held from the 19th – 24th April 2015 in Brisbane, Australia.

The Special Session is entitled "Theory and Application of Coherence in Signal Processing" and will have high-quality contributions from well known researchers on Statistical Signal Processing.
