Internship time series of radar data

1 maand geleden


Den Haag, Nederland TNO Voltijd

Nowadays, deep learning techniques are used in a wide variety of domains, including the radar domain. In the radar domain, deep learning is primarily applied for classification based on some 2D representation of the radar data, e.g., an Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) image or a spectrogram (i.e., an image of signal frequency content versus time). These intermediate data representations are commonly used because they are easily interpretable for humans. Depending on the final application, however, deep neural networks might be trained more efficiently using other data representations. For specific applications it might even be beneficial to omit the intermediate data representation and train a neural network using pulse-compressed radar data or directly raw radar data.The focus of this assignment is the use of pulse-compressed or raw radar data for training a deep neural network. What is the potential of this approach? What are possible applications for which this approach has added value? For instance, could pulse compression, beamforming and/or detection be combined in a single neural network and if so what is the benefit? Radar measurements are available for testing different approaches.You will perform this assignment in the Department of Radar Technology. We are a passionate and creative group of professionals (60 people) dedicated to the specification, development and evaluation of innovative, high-performance MMICs, miniaturised and integrated RF subsystems, antennas and front-ends. The department is at the heart of novel, game-changing radar system and signal processing concepts for the military, space and civil domains. What we expect from you

    After the first CV selection, the application process will be conducted by the concerning department. TNO will provide a suitable internship agreement. If you have any questions about this vacancy, you can contact the contact person mentioned below.For this internship vacancy it is required that the AIVD issues a security clearance (VGB) after conducting a security screening. Take into account that this process may take about 8 weeks. If you have been abroad for more than 6 consecutive months, or if you do not have the Dutch nationality, it may take longer. Read more about security screening on the AIVD website.Important to be aware of before applying:

    • Before the start of the internship, the internship agreement from TNO needs to be signed. For students at a college or university based in the Netherlands, TNO uses the UNL-template (supplemented with a number of specific agreements from TNO). For students of foreign and MBO educational institutions, the TNO internship agreement applies. TNO does not sign any other internship agreements.
    • Before the start of the internship, the educational institution will need to confirm in writing that:
      1. you are enrolled at the educational institution during the internship, and;
      2. the internship takes place as part of the programme of the study.
        • The confirmation of educational institution takes place by signing the UNL template or forms prepared by TNO.
        • Interns at TNO must be in possession of a Dutch residential address at the start of the internship. Performance of internship activities from abroad is not possible.
