Your future responsibilities
The PhD topic focuses on developing and investigating joint communication and sensing tasks in TeraHertz (THz) frequency band beyond current communication standards.
Optical synthesis and detection of THz waves based on the photo-mixing of tunable continuous wave lasers is well-established in measurement technology, in particular, for high-resolution spectroscopy. However, photonic THz technologies are also promising for demonstrating next generation communication setups in the THz spectral range.
In this project a setup based on photonic THz technology using components at the optical telecom wavelength is to be developed into a flexible joint communication and sensing test setup that allows to investigate communication, localization (RADAR) and sensing tasks.
You would work in a team with close ties to international academic partners and national industry, and you would be responsible for the following tasks:
