Internship: RF Measurement System Development

From October 2024, our team in Dresden offers an opportunity for an

Intern: RF Measurement System Development (m/f/x)

The increase of signaling bandwidths in 5G mobile communication systems in combination with the constant demand for higher power efficiency require new methods for RF component design. Successful future designs will depend on wideband measurement methods under realistic conditions. In order to improve repeatability and accuracy of these measurements, we push the boundaries of standard RF instrumentation by adding additional calibration and error correction techniques.

Your Tasks

• Develop Python scripts to demonstrate measurement concepts
• Extend the prototype measurement software library with new functionality in C++
• Measure key parameters of selected RF components with a measurement system prototype in our laboratory
