Project description
Upcoming small satellite systems call for cost efficient and light weight communication sub-systems. Utilizing commercially available radio frequency integrated circuits (RFIC) as used in mobile phones can satisfy these requirements.
The objective of this project is to select suitable RFICs and design a small communication system. The design shall follow guide lines for rapid prototyping.
Tasks
Selection of space qualifiable RFIC components
Design of a transmitter sub-system
Simulation and optimization using AWR Microwave Office suite
Manufacturing, assembly, and test of the system
Requirements
Basic knowledge of microwave systems
Basic knowledge of communication systems
Some lab experience, esp. usage of spectrum analyser, breadboard design, soldering
Languages
English (C1)
