Welcome to DIGCOM, the Digital Communications Research Group in the department TELIN of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at Ghent University
Over the past 30 years, DIGCOM has built a strong internationally recognized expertise in the area of channel estimation and detection of digital information, involving both the computation of theoretical performance bounds, the derivation and analysis of practical estimation and detection algorithms, indoor positioning using UWB or VLP, and sensor fusion. These research activities have led to a large number of publications in leading journals and international conference proceedings, and to several scientific awards.
