PhD position in Switching of W-band Signals for Active and Reconfigurable Delivery

jobbeskrivelse:
The Technical University of Denmark has an open PhD position in the project “FIber-Wireless Integrated Networks for 5th Generation delivery” FIWIN5G. The FIWIN5G project is a Marie Curie Initial Training Network involving 10 academic institutions and 11 industrial partners. 15 PhD researchers will be trained within this project in different aspects of millimeter-wave signal generation and manipulation, with emphasis on 5G systems. A comprehensive training program will allow the researcher to gain knowledge in photonic sciences, millimeter-wave technologies and soft-skills, such as management and innovation. Project scope The objective of this project is to study and provide solutions for dynamic switching of high-capacity W-band signals employing optical switches. The project will study different switching technologies and active delivery architectures and topologies from the standpoint of W-band delivery. The project includes an external stay at G-INP (Grenoble, France) for experimental testing of an optical switching block designed within the project at the W-band and Low-Terahertz frequencies. G-INP has experimental facilities capable of generating, transmitting and receiving W-band and Low-Terahertz signals. Qualifications The candidate must have a master's degree in engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master's degree in engineering. A solid background of digital communications and signal processing is important, some knowledge of fiber optics an advantage. Good communication skills in written and spoken English is a must. Incorporation date is Spring 2015. Approval and Enrolment The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval: only candidates with an above the average marks are accepted in the program. We recommend the applicants to contact the supervisors in advance to assess the suitability of the application. Salary and appointment terms The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current Danish rules for Ph.D. degree researchers. The period of employment is 3 years. Assessment The assessment of the applicants will be made by Assoc. Prof. J.J. Vegas Olmos and Prof. Idelfonso Tafur Monroy. Supervisors Associate Professor J.J. Vegas Olmos, Metro-Access and Short Range Systems, jjvo (at) fotonik.dtu.dk Professor Idelfonso Tafur Monroy, Metro-Access and Short Range Systems, jjvo (at) fotonik.dtu.dk. Application Please submit your online application no later than February 28th, 2015. Applications must be submitted as one pdf file containing all materials to be given consideration.
