Offer Description

The main objective of this project will be to study the electromagnetic susceptibility of RF communicating electronic systems to a multitude of waveforms, within the framework of the optimization of a non-linear radar.

The candidate for this position will be responsible for :

• Setting up test benches for the intermodulation susceptibility of electronic systems
• Implementing measures to monitor the communication of communicating systems
• Analyzing and utilizing susceptibility data to improve radar performance

• Participate in the selection of electronic systems to be tested
• Develop injection methods for the selected systems
• Characterize the waveforms used for susceptibility test benches
• Characterize and analyze the radar signal

The Institute of Electronics and Systems (IES) is a Joint Research Unit between the CNRS and the University of Montpellier (IES, UMR n°5214 CNRS-UM). The unit is divided into ten research teams of varying size covering the thematic axes of photonics and waves, materials, energy, reliability of systems in constrained environments and sensors and instrumentation.

The candidate must hold a PhD (or equivalent) and have completed a course of study in high-frequency electronics. Skills in electromagnetism and microwave test bench design are required.

For the intended objectives, a strong background in RF components and circuits, particularly non-linear ones, is also highly valued.
