Radioengineering

Electronics is believed to be a rather young and a very promising science. Recent years have proved convincingly the growing importance of electronics in modern society. It has opened a new era and has become a powerful means of progress. At present it is difficult to enumerate all branches of science and technology based on electronic techniques.

Automation is the industrial keynote of the day. Electronics makes it possible to raise industrial automation to a higher level. Electronics leads to automatic control of large-scale industrial operations. Electronics is used nearly in all spheres of human life. Electronic techniques are indispensable in communication, radio astronomy, space exploration, nuclear physics, economics and management.

The rapid development of electronics and its growing application demand a great number of qualified engineers in this field. Such qualified specialists are trained at the radioengineering department of Samara State Aerospace University. The radioengineering faculty was established in 1959. Today the faculty is a large university department training highly – qualified specialists in the field of radioelectronics. Special chairs of the faculty carry on research of the most vital problems of modern radioengineering, namely, space radioelectronics, microelectronics, microminiaturization of radioelectronic apparatus, automation of designing.

The faculty trains engineers in the following specialities: “Radioengineering”, “Design and technology of radioelectronic apparatus”, “Consumer electronics”, “Biotechnical and medical apparatus and systems”.

To meet the requirements of the industrial development of the region engineers are qualified in a number of specializations created within the framework of the basic specialities, namely, automobile electronics, space apparatus construction, electronic reconnaissance and electronic countermeasures, technology of microelectronic devices, design and technology of electronic aircraft defence apparatus.

Students mastering the speciality of a radioengineer gain deep knowledge of circuitry and systems engineering of radioelectronic devices and systems. Students study radioreceiving and transmitting devices, radiolocation, radionavigation, radiocontrol, aerials, amplifying devices and other subjects.

The training of radiodesigners allows to master modern methods of designing of radioelectronic apparatus for different purposes, including microelectronic devices for space apparatus, consumer and industrial electronics. Future specialists study modern and perspective circuit components and their optimized application, fundamentals of radioelectronics, microelectronics and microminiaturization, physical and mathematical modeling, computer-aided design and automation of technological processes of electronic apparatus production.

Students studying medical apparatus and systems get necessary knowledge for development, research and operation of biotechnical and medical electronic devices and computer systems for different purposes, namely, apparatus and computer systems for treatment and diagnosis in medicine, medical and biological apparatus of lifesupport systems and medical control systems, satellite devices in cosmonautics.
