Key Projects

SPM is a research centre in Electrical Engineering at the University of Newcastle, Australia. Our expertise is focussed on the development of algorithms and systems for future telecommunications and related signal processing technology.

The ever-increasing demands for greater data throughput to mobile devices presents a research challenge to transfer more information for a given amount of power. SPM is actively developing new algorithms that bring the current advances in Information Theory into reality for small form-factor devices.

As part of our research, SPM have developed a range of software and hardware tools to evaluate the performance and characteristics of new algorithms. These have been made available as a resource to aid the research community.
