PhD position (f/m/d) for mmW radio channel and waveform analysis for cooperative communications and radar systems in automotive (TV-L E13)

The Chair of Electrical Smart City Systems at the Faculty of Engineering is looking for a PhD student in channel characterization/modeling and investigating different waveforms based on the obtained channel models. The work will be done within the BMBF-funded project 6G-ICAS4Mobility (https://www.6g-icas4mobility.de/) in close cooperation with Robert Bosch GmbH, DENSO AUTOMOTIVE Deutschland GmbH, TU Ilmenau, and international cooperation partners.

Das Aufgabengebiet umfasst

  • Conduct original research in the field of radio channel characterization and waveform investigations for future cooperative radar and communications systems (ICAS systems: Integrated Communications and Sensing)
  • Participation in vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure radio channel measurements at mm-wave frequencies
  • Validation and further channel characterization using channel simulation tools (e.g., 3D-Ray Tracer WinProp, Altair) based on the measured data
  • Analysis and evaluation of different antenna characteristics/positions
  • Development and implementation of concepts for ICAS related extension of the 3GPP channel model
  • Investigation of different waveforms (integration of channel models and evaluation of waveforms)
  • Collaborate with other researchers and engineers
  • Publish research findings in high-quality conferences and journals
  • Participate in grant writing and proposal development to secure funding for research projects
