WHO WE ARE

TSR (Tratamiento de la Señal y Radiocomunicaciones / Signal Processing and Radiocommunication) is a research group that belongs to the Faculty of Engineering of Bilbao (UPV/EHU/University of the Basque Country) and more precisely to the Dpt. of Communications Engineering (former Dpt. of Electronics and Telecommunication) of this institution. The department staff is composed of 79 researchers and professors (full, associate and assistant).

The TSR research team was set up in 1990 by the professor Juan Luis Ordiales Basterretxea with the cooperation of three last year students of Telecommunication Engineering.

Nowadays, TSR is composed by 11 professors, 2 postdoctoral researchers, 3 Ph.D. students, 7 engineers contracted for specific projects in the field of digital broadcasting systems as well as a variable number of MSc students.

Among the most relevant achievements of the group in the last years, it is worth highlighting the following ones:
  • More than 30 articles published in prestigious and leading international science journals with high impact factors (like IEEE Transactions on Broadcasting or IEEE Antennas and Propagation)
  • Active participation in international research societies and regulatory bodies (ITU-R, EBU-UER) in order to present proposals to be evaluated by the international community countries. The ITU (International Telecommunication Union) is the second-oldest international organization still in existence, established to standardize and regulate international radio and telecommunications. (www.itu.int)
  • More than 60 papers presented in international conferences
  • A software implemented by the group staff is being used and commercialized by a private company. (www.arbitrary.es)
  • The group takes part in two PhD. Degrees, being one of them the first official engineering area PhD. Degree with the Spanish Government Quality Mention in the University of the Basque Country.
  • The group is a member of the Digital Radio Mondiale Consortium since 2001. This participation is focused on evaluating the system by means of worldwide measurement campaigns (Spain, Mexico, Brazil, India, …)
  • The group is a member of the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) Consortium since 2011, participating in several TM subgroups.

  • Among the members of the group there is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Broadcasting journal and several Reviewers of the IEEE and other international science journals.
  • More than 10 PhD. Thesis supervised and published
