Student (m/f/d) for a master thesis – antenna matching via signal processing


  • In the first part of your work, you investigate how the noise figure of a specific receiver changes with different input impedances.
  • Measurements or simulations are used to evaluate the noise performance under varying impedance conditions.
  • In the second part, you implement an algorithm to estimate the noise figure or the signal-to-noise ratio.
  • Existing algorithms may be extended or adapted for this purpose.
  • The goal is to improve the understanding and evaluation of receiver performance under realistic conditions.

  • You have a degree in electrical engineering or information technology.
  • You are interested in understanding how different installation environments affect antenna impedance.
  • You are able to estimate antenna impedance to address mismatches.
  • You configure matching circuits to improve the range of the radio system.
  • Knowledge of signal processing and radio frequency technology is an advantage.

  • Tariff compensation
  • Flexible working hours
  • Family-owned company
  • Canteen
  • Parking space
