DTU Fotonik at the Technical University of Denmark has an open PhD position in the project FIber-Wireless Integrated Networks for 5th Generation delivery FIWIN5G.
The FIWIN5G project is a Marie Curie Initial Training Network involving 10 academic institutions and 11 industrial partners. 15 PhD researchers will be trained within this project in different aspects of millimeter-wave signal generation and manipulation, with emphasis on 5G systems. A comprehensive training program will allow the researcher to gain knowledge in photonic sciences, millimeter-wave technologies and soft-skills, such as management and innovation.
Project scope
The objective of this project is to study advanced modulation formats for high-capacity 400G wireless links operating in the W- and Low-Terahertz bands (30-300GHz). The project includes an external stay at University Duisburg-Essen (Germany) to undertake experimental testing of different modulation formats at the W-band and Low-Terahertz.
