Master Thesis: Non-Terrestrial network evolution
Technology, Data & Digital · Software & Web Development · Software Engineering
In short
This master thesis project focuses on the evolution of Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) for RF sensing, investigating the use of satellite signals to detect objects on or near the ground. The project involves a literature study, scenario definition, simulation model development, and performance analysis of bistatic and multistatic sensing.
Responsibilities
- Conduct a literature study covering RF sensing using non-terrestrial network signals, with focus on bistatic and multistatic sensing concepts.
- Define a representative LEO satellite constellation scenario where one or more NTN satellites act as illuminators and one or more NTN devices act as receivers.
- Develop a simulation model for NTN-based RF sensing of objects on or near the ground, including low-altitude flying objects such as drones.
- Analyze bistatic sensing performance when multiple satellites form a virtual transmitter aperture and a single NTN device acts as receiver.
- Extend the analysis to multistatic sensing with multiple NTN devices as receivers, and study how satellite geometry, receiver placement, target position, and signal assumptions affect sensing performance.
- Summarize the feasibility, main limitations, and potential future research directions for using NTN signals in device-based RF sensing.
Requirements
- Final year master's student in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics or similar with background in electromagnetics.
- Genuine interest in wireless communication technologies.
- Experience in simulation tools such as MATLAB
- Eager to learn, ambitious, having an innovative mentality as well as being a true standout colleague.
- Fluent in English, both verbal and written communication.
- Attach transcripts and coursework with your application.
Benefits
- Outstanding opportunity to use your skills and imagination to push the boundaries of what's possible.
- Build solutions never seen before to some of the world’s toughest problems.
- Be challenged, but not alone; join a team of diverse innovators.
- Opportunity to craft what comes next.
