Internship | On-Chip RF Transformer Design Macro

1 maand geleden


The Hague, Nederland TNO Voltijd

What will be your role?

The design-cycle of an on-chip RF transformer is normally time-consuming as it requires multiple iterations of (manual) layout adjustments and EM-simulations. By using the optimizer within the Keysight ADS software in combination with ADS’s Momentum EM-simulator, this process can be enhanced. For this purpose a macro is required that you will build. This macro should adjust the RF transformer’s layout as function of its design parameters, such as the number of windings and inner diameter. This macro will preferably be implemented in ADS’s AEL programming language and should be tested within the design environment.

The duration of this internship is at least 3 months.

What we expect from you

You are in the final stages of your degree in electrical engineering or a similar degree; You have basic understanding of RF design and have experience in programming; You are pragmatic and focused on making things work; Next to technical expertise we value communication skills and a results-driven attitude.

What you'll get in return

You want to work on the precursor of your career; a work placement gives you an opportunity to take a good look at your prospective future employer. TNO goes a step further. It’s not just looking that interests us; you and your knowledge are essential to our innovation. That’s why we attach a great deal of value to your personal and professional development. You will, of course, be properly supervised during your work placement and be given the scope for you to get the best out of yourself. Naturally, we provide suitable work placement compensation.

    What will be your role? The waveform design is one of the critical aspects in radar performance optimisation. Traditionally chirped waveforms are applied in radar, designed for signal-to-noise ratio optimisation when applying a matched filter for detection. This is however only one criterion that can be used for waveform design. Currently there is a...

    What will be your role? Radar observations are hampered by reflections from the background surrounding an object of interest (so-called radar clutter) and sometimes interference of other emitters. Radar clutter may exhibit some temporal structure, e.g., radar reflections from rolling sea waves or from the rotating blades of a wind turbine. Also...

    What will be your role? Deep learning techniques typically thrive when large sets of labelled data are available. In the radar domain, labelled data tend to be scarce depending on the application area. So it would be beneficial if all available data could be used. However, in practice measurements may be made with varying radar waveform settings (such...
