Master's Thesis, 30 hp, ECTS: Orbit Information-Based Motion Compensation for Satellite-Based Passive Radar
Technology, Data & Digital · Software & Web Development · Software Engineering · Data Science
In short
This Master's thesis project at Saab in Göteborg, Sweden, focuses on developing and comparing signal processing methods for satellite-based passive radar systems. The goal is to create a simulation model and investigate motion compensation techniques to improve target detection, evaluating sensitivity to orbit information errors and comparing different processing approaches.
Responsibilities
- Create a simulation model for satellite, target, and receiver, including propagation path differences.
- Generate reference and surveillance signals with controllable noise and uncertainty.
- Model signal delay and Doppler shift for satellite and target trajectories.
- Develop compensation methods for signal path length and Doppler shift changes.
- Evaluate sensitivity to errors in orbit information.
- Compare conventional range-Doppler processing with advanced approaches (e.g., window-based method).
- Identify when motion compensation and geometric constraints improve detection performance.
- Compare achievable performance with known orbit information versus signal-based estimation.
- Investigate when external orbit information is necessary versus signal-based estimation.
- Produce a reproducible simulation environment.
- Compare detection probability, estimation accuracy, and computational cost.
Requirements
- Student in the final stage of a Master of Science program in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field.
- Undertaking a 30 ECTS master's thesis project.
- Interest in signal processing, modeling, and algorithm development.
- Solid programming skills in MATLAB or Python.
- Basic understanding of probability theory, statistics, and communication systems is beneficial.
- Must pass a security vetting.
- Potential additional obligations on citizenship may apply for positions requiring security clearance.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with radar systems.
- Experience with satellite geometry.
- Experience with OFDM.
Benefits
- Opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world challenges.
- Collaborate with experienced engineers and specialists.
- Gain invaluable practical experience.
- Make a tangible contribution to company growth and development.
- Support and guidance to translate theoretical knowledge into practical solutions.
- Be a driving force behind technological advancements.
