Eindhoven, Nederland Eindhoven University of Technology Voltijd

Job description

Communication networks provide the bedrock for digital transition of our society and economy. In 4G and 5G mobile networks, the Netherlands is strong in RF semiconductor technologies and
applications of mobile technology. 6G, the new generation for the 2030s, offers large economic opportunities for the Netherlands to extend this position to areas in the global 6G value chain that have earlier moved to Asian and US companies. Securing such a position is crucial for the Netherlands to stay in control of its mobile networks. In the Future Network Services (FNS) program, leading ICT- and semiconductor companies and research institutions will jointly
research specific parts of 6G: software antennas, AI-driven network software and leading 6G applications. By integrating these parts at the 6G software layer, FNS creates a powerful approach to make 6G a truly intelligent network. This innovation gives an important impulse to the Dutch economy and sustainable earning power, through advanced industrial activity and significant export
opportunities. It will make 6G networks more energy efficient and drive digital autonomy.

Outline of the FNS-6G program:

The FNS innovations are developed in four program lines: (1) intelligent components, developing software antennas for the new high (mm-wave and THz) frequencies in 6G; (2) intelligent networks, developing AI-driven software for 6G radio and core networks; (3) leading applications, developing new 6G applications in mobility, energy, health and other sectors that create value through new set- ups of the sector value chains; (4) ecosystem strengthening, integrating the FNS innovations in the national 6G testbed, stimulating start-ups and SMEs, developing and executing the human capital agenda and ensuring policy alignment. The consortium currently consists of a mix of 60 large and small telecom, semiconductor and ICT companies, universities and public bodies:

PhD position on “Thermally Enhanced Antenna Arrays for mm-Wave Applications”:

Research Objective:

Develop advanced antenna arrays for mm-wave applications with enhanced thermal management capabilities. This involves the integration of heatsink structures with antenna elements to ensure efficient heat dissipation while maintaining optimal electromagnetic characteristics.

Background:

Millimeter-wave technologies are crucial for 5G/6G communication systems and radar applications. However, these high-frequency systems generate significant heat, affecting performance and reliability. Effective thermal management becomes paramount for sustaining stable operation.

Research Components:

Material Analysis: Investigate high thermal conductivity materials, such as alumina, for use in antenna designs. Study their electromagnetic and thermal properties to understand the balance between heat transfer and radiation efficiency. Design of Thermally Enhanced Antennas: Develop antenna designs that incorporate thermal management features. These may include fin-shaped heatsink structures or integrated heatsink-antenna elements using 3-D printing and LTCC technologies. Simulation and Modeling: Use computational tools to simulate both the thermal and electromagnetic behavior of the proposed antenna designs. Optimize the designs for minimal thermal resistance without compromising electromagnetic performance. Fabrication and Testing: Fabricate prototypes using advanced manufacturing techniques and test them in real-world scenarios. Analyze their performance in terms of heat dissipation, gain, bandwidth, and radiation patterns. Innovative Applications: Explore the potential applications of these thermally enhanced antenna arrays in emerging mm-wave technologies, such as joint communications and sensing.

Advantages:

Improved Reliability: Efficient heat management leads to stable operation under various conditions, enhancing the reliability of mm-wave systems. Enhanced Performance: Optimal thermal and electromagnetic design ensures high performance in terms of signal strength and bandwidth. Compactness and Integration: The use of innovative materials and designs allows for creation of compact and integrated antenna solutions, suitable for densely packed electronic systems.

Outcome:

The research aims to contribute significantly to the field of mm-wave technology, offering solutions for thermal challenges in high-frequency antenna systems, and paving the way for more efficient and reliable communication and radar systems.

Conclusion:

This Ph.D. program will address a critical need in the rapidly advancing field of mm-wave technology, combining theoretical research with practical design and implementation. The development of thermally enhanced antenna arrays will play a pivotal role in the next generation of wireless communication and sensing technologies.
