University of Twente
The Power Electronics and Electromagnetic Compatibility Group within the department Electrical Engineering has a vacancy for a Ph.D. researcher on Effective aperture of openings of systems in reverberant environments 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 1 – DC01.
Unintentional antennas such as openings, like windows, or holes for ventilation, can act as an antenna, allowing EM energy to penetrate opening and these unintentional antennas can radiate in all directions, and over a very, very, very large frequency range but the Electromagnetic effect are undesired therefore we would like that you help us to solve that problem!
The objectives are to develop validated models to predict EM coupling into and out of (random) apertures (and random wires) using Monte-Carlo deterministic and statistical techniques for EM waves. Validation via comparison to known antennas and canonical structures and measurements. Key application to airplane structures and automotive windows and openings, but model shall be general for any complex, electrically large (w.r.t. wavelength) apertures.
The expected results are to increased knowledge (disseminated), and widely accepted models to be used by industry to estimate the risk of EMI, which can be embedded in current EM tools as applied within industry. DC01 trained in random EM coupling into/out of complex systems
