Student project: Multi-phase clock generation for UWB application

*Important for non-EU students: You'll need to be registered at a Dutch university to meet immigration requirements.

High‑frequency, low-jitter and low-spur wide‑tuning‑range LO generation to support multiple UWB bands.

What you will do

• Design and verification of phase-lock loop (PLL) system model
• Proposing novel PLL architecture for low jitter and spur
• Circuit implementation and innovation of PLL building blocks (e.g. oscillator, phase detector...)
• Layout and post-layout simulation of PLL
• Possible chip fabrication and measurement depending on the progress and chip tape-out availability

What we do for you

You will work in a highly innovative environment alongside renowned researchers and engineers at imec, one of the world’s leading organizations in electronics R&D. In addition, you will be mentored by experienced experts in RF and analog integrated circuits. This opportunity will allow you to explore advanced circuit design and further develop your technical skills and capabilities.

Who you are

• Major in electronic engineering
• Motivated in RF/Analog/Mixed circuit and systems
• Available for >10 months (preferrable 12 months)
• Solid background in RF/Analog/Mixed circuit design
• Good understanding in RF/Wireless systems as well as basic circuits (OPAMP, filter, LNA, oscillators, etc.)
• Experience in schematic and layout design in EDA tools like Cadence
• Good written and verbal English skills
