Doctoral Student Position in Micromachined Reconfigurable Subterahertz AntennasKTH , School of Electrical Engineering and Computer ScienceKTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm has grown to become one of Europe’s leading technical and engineering universities, as well as a key centre of intellectual talent and innovation. We are Sweden’s largest technical research and learning institution and home to students, researchers and faculty from around the world. Our research and education covers a wide area including natural sciences and all branches of engineering, as well as architecture, industrial management, urban planning, history and philosophy. Project descriptionThird-cycle subject: Electrical Engineering The research group of RF/microwave/THz MEMS is a part of the Division of Micro and Nano Systems at KTH consisting of more than 50 researchers and Ph.D. students. Research in RF/microwave/THz MEMS is carried out for applications including telecommunication, radar, medical diagnosis and space instruments, at frequencies from 75 to 750 GHz. The research output of the RF/microwave/THz MEMS group is well recognized internationally, and its Ph.D. students have received a total of six IEEE Best The specific research project is on developing novel reconfigurable millimeter-wave and submillimeterwave antenna systems microsystems, to be implemented by micromachining. The project presents a unique opportunity of interdisciplinary research with focus on antenna systmes, microwave/terahertz technology, microsystems/MEMS technology and measurement technology. As a Ph.D. student you will work in an interdisciplinary research team, you will develop your own reconfigurable sub-THz antenna systems concepts. You will model and simulate them with the state-of-the-art design and simulation tools, you will fabricate them utilizing the KTH cleanroom facility, and you will characterize them in our THz laboratory utilizing our state-of-the-art measurement equipment with the possibility of developing your own measurement setup. Supervision: The doctoral student will be supervised by: Professor Joachim Oberhammer What we offer
