A 3-year PhD scholarship in reconfigurable microwave filters is available in the Electromagnetic group at DTU Electrical Engineering Responsibilities and tasks The PhD project seeks to develop reconfigurable microwave filters for signals with advanced modulation formats needed to meet the capacity demands in the order of 100-400 Gbit/s in optical communication systems.
The project is carried out in collaboration between DTU Electrical Engineering and DTU Photonics. The primary focus of the PhD project is to develop novel reconfigurable microwave filter concepts using monolithic technology, MEMS, ceramics with ferrite inserts or other tunable materials.
