Summer position in design of circuits for communication experiments

Information about the laboratory
The Microwave Electronics Laboratory (MEL) is the largest out of eight laboratories at the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience. At MEL we are more than 40 people performing world-class research on high speed electronic components, circuits, and systems for a wide range of communication, industrial, and remote sensing applications in the frequency range from 1 GHz to 500 GHz and beyond. Our facilities include a uniquely well-equipped laboratory for advanced millimeter wave measurements.

A major part our research is targeting the need for higher capacity and improved energy efficiency in future wireless communication systems. We are now investigating drastically new wireless solutions, involving devices with up to hundreds of antennas and exploration of millimeter wave frequency bands. One of our main research objectives is, therefore, to establish a new generation of wireless hardware that can be scalable to the needs in such applications.

Job description
We are looking for a student with who is interested in designing printed circuit boards, that can support PhD projects with simpler design tasks. You will work alone, mainly supported by one PhD student. The work involves finalizing PCB designs, programming a simple control system and evaluating them.   

Contract terms
Temporary employment during the time period 2022-06-01 - 2022-08-31 (exact duration to be defined).

Qualifications
To qualify, you need to have participated in bachelor level courses in electronic circuits and have an interest in described tasks. It is important that you are structured and that you can work independently, since employment will occur during summer. Further, experience in MATLAB programming is required.
