Stanislav Dontsov and Dmitry Gusev, members of the “Intelligent Physical and Engineering Systems” student design bureau, took part in the 8th All-Russian Technology Competition in Advanced Radio Communications, Radiofest 2026. The competition was held in Moscow at the National Research University of Electronic Technology (MIET).
Radiofest 2026 was organised by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, and the Foundation for Advanced Research.
Over three days, participants worked with modern radio equipment and competed in developing software for software-defined radio (SDR). Dontsov and Gusev joined competitors from 24 Russian regions in the Radio Communications category.
“During the first two days, we debugged the programs we had developed using equipment provided by the organisers — LimeSDR, HackRF ONE, RTL SDR and Raspberry Pi 4. On the third day, the programs were tested to see which performed the competition task best,” explained Stanislav Dontsov, a student at the Institute of Engineering and Technology.
The team was accompanied by Ivan Pasechnikov, a Doctor of Technical Sciences and professor at Derzhavin University. He described the competition as engaging and said that third place was a commendable achievement for the students.
