Offer Description
Project description
The project focuses on beam-forming techniques for modern antenna-array based radar systems. Different techniques, including machine-learning, will be investigated for advanced digital, analog and hybrid beam-forming concepts, and applied to generating arbitrary beam-shapes in multi-static and passive radar systems. The work is primarily to be done by using simulation and computation software. If a hardware platform will be available before the end of the project, an implementation of the techniques on that platform will be carried out. The project requires a background in electrical engineering, radar systems, electromagnetic simulations, basic signal processing techniques, and preferably also machine learning.
The work is carried out in the THz lab of the Micro and Nano Systems division at the Dept of Intelligent Systems at KTH School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The lab has measurement equipment, incl. a fully automated THz antenna measurement chamber, up to 750 GHz, and many custom-built microwave and THz measurement setups. The project is funded by a European Defence Fund project and carried out in tight collaboration with SAAB AB.
Third-cycle subject: Electrical Engineering
Supervision: Prof. Joachim Oberhammer, with Dr Umer Shah as co-supervisor.
