About
Since its inception in 1964, the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, IIT Roorkee, has played a pioneering role in actively imparting knowledge and practical training to the students and in-service personnel. Its unique and distinct feature is to bring together the experience and knowledge in the electronics domain for the service of society at large. The department offers Postgraduate Degree programs in RF and Microwaves; Communication, Network & Signal Processing; and Microelectronics and VLSI. The department has strong research groups in these broad areas.
Aimed to solve the challenges involved and provide the trained manpower for this future technology, there is a necessity for a multidisciplinary master programme. It is with this background, the Department of Electronics and Communication Engg. proposes a M.Tech Programme on ‘Terahertz Communication and Sensing’ which would provide the academic competencies to meet the challenges related to THz Engineering.
The programme offers challenging high level education and research to talented students holding an undergraduate degree in Electronics Engg. The programme covers a broad spectrum of topics related to wireless applications that includes advanced electromagnetics and radio communication as well as complex networks along with extended opportunities.
The students can learn fundamental concepts and technique related to:

- Physical Layer Signal Processing Techniques for communication and sensing, includingmodulation, coding, estimation and detection principles
- Network Design and Management, focusses on fundamental concepts of network science, design and architecture, management, protocols and algorithms for fixed and wireless networks
