011 Digital Signal Analysis Techniques: Time, Frequency, and Spatial Algorithms
Location: Barcelona, Spain Date: April 13 - April 15, 2026 Duration: 3 days
Instructors: Professor Gonzalo Seco-Granados and Professor José A. López-Salcedo
This 3-day course that goes beyond available textbooks and extends these signal analysis tools to higher dimensions and multiple sensor channel. Conventional tools for analyzing and extracting the feature content of signals are filters (time content), Fourier transforms (frequency content) and beamforming (spatial content). Alternative tools to these conventional techniques are able to produce signal analysis results with finer temporal detail and higher spectral and spatial resolution.

058 Modern Digital Modulation Techniques for Wireless, Satellite, and Wireline Communications – 5G and Beyond
Location: Barcelona, Spain Date: April 13-17, 2026 Duration: 5 days
Instructor: Professor Irving Kalet
The goal of this course is to introduce the participant to those digital modulation methods and multiple access techniques presently in use in mobile wireless (e.g.,5G-NR), broadband wireless(e.g.,Wi-Fi6), cable, satellite, deep-space and wireline (and power-line) communications, as well as to those techniques, which are being considered for future or next generation systems, e.g., 6G, and Wi-Fi 7.
Modern digital modulation and multiple access techniques are basic building blocks of the physical (or radio) interface of all digital communication systems. We will describe many of these techniques during the course including those methods, which are being used in the newest systems including the Fifth Generation (5G-NR) cellular system, as well as ideas for modulations for 6G.
Objective:
- Learning about OFDM -based systems including OFDM, OFDMA, S-OFDMA, and SC-FDMA, which are integral parts of 5G-NR, 4G-LTE and the IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) systems.
- Emphasis on the new modulation standard for the physical interface of 5G-NR. This OFDM standard is based on scalable subcarrier spacing.
- Discuss other modulations, such as “Faster Than Nyquist” (FTN) signaling, which are being considered for advanced wireless systems. Many of the modulations have been combined with MIMO, Massive MIMO, and BLAST, to improve spectral efficiency.
- Describe the use of constant-envelope CPM modulations (e.g., GMSK), especially for present and future broadband wireless communications and space communications. All of the modulations have been, and will be, utilized in mobile and broadband wireless systems, as well as in xDSL systems, to greatly improve both bandwidth and power efficiency.
- Discussion of one of the most important topics in communications, Shannon Information Theory.

815 O-RAN System Overview
Location: Barcelona, Spain Date: April 13 - April 14, 2026 Duration: 2 days
Instructor: Dr. Marcin Dryjanski
The course covers joint design of technology and ecosystem aspects in Open RAN networks. The technology enablers include open networking, virtualization, HW/SW disaggregation, network intelligence. The course discusses Open RAN concept, architecture, use cases, functions and interfaces. With further network densification and high sophistication of the relation between multiple layers and operators and network elements require network management solution based on Artificial Intelligence (AI). The central point is the O-RAN Alliance, but relation to other entities, like TIP (Telecom Infra Project), and 3GPP is also emphasized.
