Offer Description
Are you fascinated by the idea of high-speed space Internet, envisioned to be powered by more than 50000 low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites expected to be launched within 10 years? Join us on this research project in collaboration with multiple tech companies to develop and demonstrate the next generation of free-space optical (FSO) communication systems for satellite communications.
Information
Satellite-based links are of key importance to provide ever-increasing data rates. Free-space optics is a technology that can help satisfy this demand thanks to the vast amounts of bandwidth available in the THz-regime. The Eindhoven University of Technology recognizes the crucial paradigm shift, from intensity-modulated to coherent transmission, necessary in next generation FSO communication systems to provide high throughputs. To address this challenge, we are excited to announce an EngD positions in the field of experimental FSO communications.
These two positions are part of a collaborative research project between leading technology companies and two research groups at TU/e: the Signal Processing Systems (SPS) and the Electronic Systems (ES) group. The research in this EngD project will be performed in close collaboration with Cubiq Technologies and the two research groups. You will be a part of a team that consists of 1 EngD, and 2 PhDs. Successful candidate will work on a field demonstration of DSP algorithms for FSO communications.
