Student project: UWB Signal Processing for Combined Ranging and Radar
What you will do
Ultra-wideband has been first developed for military applications for secure communication and was standardized by IEEE already more than a decade ago. Recently, there has been a renewed interest in ultra-wideband based data communication and localization for smartphones.
This raises the question: “Can we use Ultra-wideband communication signals and transceivers for opportunistic radar applications?”. During your thesis, you play an essential role in answering this question from a technical perspective. One of the major technical challenges is expected to be TX-RX crosstalk and LO leakage. You will analyse and develop architectures and algorithms, all with the aim to mitigate the impact of crosstalk and LO leakage, while maximizing sensitivity. You will deliver a comprehensive model and algorithm(s) in either Matlab or Python complete with documentation. A publication at scientific conference/journal is always a possibility, depending on the duration, quality and novelty of the work.
- Literature review.
- Compare known transceiver architectures and propose modification.
- Develop a simulation model and algorithms based on t modifications.
- Evaluate the expected radar performance.
- Reporting and presenting
