About this opportunity
We're looking for students interested in communication and radar technology to support our research on the evolution of 6G. This master thesis project will focus on the application of signal processing and hardware platforms to create a bistatic radar from an existing monostatic system. The development of new radar and synchronization features will be conducted in collaboration with our researchers at the device communication research organization within Ericsson.
The project's target is to take our existing monostatic RFSoC platform and evolve it into a functional quasi-bistatic setup. The primary challenge, and research topic, is to achieve over-the-air synchronization between the transmitter and the receiver. This work will explore synchronization protocols and signal processing techniques, with the goal of demonstrating a fully operational bistatic sensing system.
We are seeking a student with a strong interest in communication technology and hands-on experience or interest in FPGA programming and hardware implementation. This project offers a unique opportunity to work with cutting-edge RFSoC technology and contribute to the development of next-generation integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems.
What you will do
• Conduct a literature study to summarize the state-of-the-art of OFDM-based bistatic radar and over-the-air synchronization techniques.
• Investigate and implement a synchronization protocol to achieve time and frequency alignment between the RFSoC transmitter and receiver. Study the feasibility of different synchronization schemes (e.g., dedicated pilot tones, embedded synchronization sequences) and their impact on system performance.
• Analyze and evaluate the performance of the quasi-bistatic system. This includes quantifying synchronization accuracy, assessing its impact on range and Doppler resolution, and demonstrating the system's capability to detect targets in a bistatic configuration.
The skills you bring
• Final year master's student in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics or similar with background of electromagnetics.
• Genuine interest in wireless communication and hardware implementation.
• Experience in simulation tools such as MATLAB and Python.
• Eager to learn, ambitious, having an innovative mentality as well as being a true standout colleague.
• Fluent in English, both verbal and written communication.
