PhD Position Signal Processing for Low-power Digital Radars-
**_Challenge: Design waveforms and develop receiver algorithms for low-power radars._**

**_ Impact: Enhance detection performance of low-power automotive radars._**

Job description

Currently, automotive radars use fully digital receiver architectures with up to 16 antennas. While increasing the number of antennas enhances angular resolution, fully digital radars with large arrays suffer from high power consumption. This project will explore emerging low-power radar designs and develop signal processing techniques optimized for these architectures.

Signal processing with low-power digital radars is challenging due to the stringent waveform constraints imposed by low-power components. Additionally, these components often lead to severe hardware imperfections that perturb the measurements acquired at the radar receiver. To address these challenges, we seek a talented individual to develop signal processing techniques capable of effectively operating under both waveform constraints and hardware imperfections.

As part of this project, you will tackle this challenge by developing cutting-edge solutions that will push low-power automotive radars to their limits. Specifically, your focus will be on two key research themes:

- A) Designing multi-dimensional radar waveforms that are suitable for low-power radars.
- B) Developing robust signal processing algorithms for low-power radars.

By joining our team, you will contribute to the advancement of automotive radar technology, enabling higher resolution and improved detection performance, all while operating under stringent constraints in low-power radars.

The Delft Center for Systems and Control (DCSC) is offering one PhD vacancy under the newly funded ‘Digitally modulated radars’ (DiMoRA) project. The project will be carried out in the research group of Dr. N. J. Myers, in collaboration with researchers at the faculty of EEMCS and experts from NXP Semiconductors.

Dr. Myers’s group at TU Delft develops and analyzes novel signal processing techniques for communications and sensing with wireless systems. We focus on both applied and theoretical aspects of challenging problems in connected automotive and radars.
