Andrzej Marczak

Dr. Andrzej Marczak is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Radiocommunication Systems and Networks within the Faculty of Electronics Telecommunications and Informatics at Gdańsk University of Technology. His research focuses on wireless communication systems, software-defined radio, and cooperative transmission techniques.

Education

• Doctor of Engineering (obtained November 29, 2005)

Research Interests

Dr. Marczak's research spans several areas in wireless communication and telecommunications. His primary focus is on Software Defined Radio (SDR) technologies, where he has conducted extensive work on implementing OFDM transceivers using GNU Radio. He has also made significant contributions to cooperative communication in wireless networks, studying how mobile terminals can function as relay stations to improve transmission quality, network performance, and energy efficiency. Additional research areas include MC-CDMA radio interfaces, turbo codes for error correction, and Ad Hoc networks with various multiple access techniques like TDMA.

His recent publications show a trend toward practical implementations of wireless communication systems, with applications in transportation (including vehicular networks and rail transport), military contexts, and IoT environments. Much of his work involves simulation studies to evaluate transmission quality metrics like Bit Error Rate (BER) and Frame Error Rate (FER) under various channel conditions.
