University of Twente
The Power Electronics and Electromagnetic Compatibility Group within the department Electrical Engineering has a vacancy for a Ph.D. researcher on Closed-loop testing for faster and better EM evaluation of complex high-tech systems within the EU Horizon 2020 Marie Skiodowska-Curie Project NEPIT – Network for Evaluation of Propagation and Interference Training. This researched is linked to Doctoral Candidate 2 – DC02.
To expose objects to electromagnetic fields we step to a new position, increase power level until a defined value is read by a meter but this very, very slow and the main problem is the slow meter response time therefore the key question is how electronic products react on electromagnetic interference and we would like that you help us to solve that problem!
The objectives are to develop a world-wide accepted new standard for testing large systems in RC, by comparing the newest fast EM sensor systems, comparing performance with antennas, evaluate different algorithms for EM field strength data, investigating the minimal needed sensors (up to nine), and controlling the equipment using in-line measured data (closed-loop).
The expected results are to create new standard for automotive testing using RC, including VIRC. Update of IEC 61000-4-21 for large system testing. DC02 trained in large complex system EMI evaluation
