The Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, Leibniz-Institut für Höchstfrequenztechnik (FBH) is an application-oriented research institute in the fields of high-frequency electronics, photonics and quantum physics. It researches electronic and optical components, modules and systems based on compound semiconductors. These devices are key enablers that address the needs of today’s society in fields like communications, energy, health, and mobility. It covers the entire value chain from design to ready-for-delivery systems.
In the III-V Electronics Research Area we are looking for a research staff member / PhD Student.
(Reference number 37/22)
Your activities
In our Research Group “Digital PA Lab” we extend our field to CMOS-based digital transmitter architectures for handsets in a joint project with the mixed-signal group of TU Berlin. On the basis of a patented digital modulation scheme of FBH you will build a closed-loop digital transmitter architecture. You will model the digital transmitter in Matlab and realize the modulator in fixed-point arithmetic to implement its functions as a fully integrated CMOS ASIC. Moreover, you will develop in close collaboration with the project partner the demonstrator module and setup as well as automate the characterization of the novel digital CMOS transmitter for handsets. A set-up and measurement laboratory equipped with modern instrumentation is available for your research
Your profile
You should have a university degree with master or diploma in electrical engineering or physics with focus on high frequency technology, microwave technology or analog and digital electronics. Practical experience in digital signal processing and the design of high frequency integrated circuits (MMICs) is desirable. Ability to work in a team and a confident command of the English language are required. The position may be tailored by the scope of duties as a post-doctoral position or may open the possibility for you to pursue a PhD.
Our offer
We offer challenging and interdisciplinary work on innovative digital modulation techniques and novel CMOS-based digital transmitter architectures for handsets. Employment, remuneration and social benefits are based on the collective agreement for the public sector (TVöD Bund). The position can be filled immediately and is initially limited to two years.
FBH is an equal-opportunity employer and actively supports the compatibility of family and career. Particular attention is paid to gender equality. The Institute strives to increase the proportion of women in this area. Female candidates are encouraged to apply. Among equally qualified applicants, preference will be given to handicapped candidates.
