PhD Studentship
Design and measurement methodologies of millimetre-wave smart antennas
University of Surrey
Applications are invited for a funded three-year PhD
studentship starting on 1 January 2013 to investigate the novel design
and measurement methodologies of millimetre-wave smart antennas.
Millimetre-wave smart antennas using, for example printed reflectarray,
are the key technology for satellite communications, wireless local area
networks and radars. At millimetre-wave bands they offer multi-gigabit
speeds to complement existing Wi-Fi capabilities and enable new
cutting-edge wireless applications. Main objectives of this project
include novel designs, implementations and measurement techniques of
millimetre-wave smart antennas.
It will involve antenna design, EM modelling and simulation, RF/millimetre-wave circuit design, DSP algorithms, antenna measurement methodologies, FGPA implementations, etc.
Candidates should hold a 1st class or 2.1 honours degree in Engineering, Physics, or a related field. Overseas students with equivalent degrees will also be considered. The candidate will preferably have a Master degree, and research backgrounds in one or more of the following areas: antenna design, RF circuit design, antenna measurement, and electromagnetics.
The award will be for a period of 3 years and include Home/Overseas tuition fees plus a stipend (approx £13,590 p.a). Applications are welcome from both the UK and internationally.
The student will be jointly supervised by Dr. Tian Hong Loh at The National Physical Laboratory (NPL), and Dr. Steven Gao at University of Surrey, UK. NPL is the UK's National Measurement Institute and is a world-leading centre of excellence in developing and applying the most accurate measurement standards, science and technology. The novel measurement techniques will be explored in the small and smart antenna test range at NPL, which allows non-invasive antenna measurements. Dr. Gao's Research Group at Surrey has extensive experience in the designs of satellite communication antennas, smart antennas, phased arrays and RF/millimeter-wave wireless systems.
Informal enquiries should be directed to Dr. Steven Gao, email: s.gao@surrey.ac.uk.
Applications:
Applications should be sent to Dr. Steven Gao by post to Dr. Steven Gao, Head of Antennas/RF/MM-Wave Group, Surrey Space Centre, University of Surrey, Guildford, GU2 7XH, UK. Completed applications should include a CV, a statement of research interests, the completed application form, quoting the above studentship together with copies of transcripts and certificate of qualifications.
