Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits
High-frequency Technology — Requirements and Qualifications
The wireless transfer technology is one of the key technologies of the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS in Erlangen. This technology is used in systems for digital radio - terrestrial or satellite-supported - and in mobile communication with small portable end devices. The implementation of the complete transmission link from the transmitter module via the sender and receiver antenna to the receiver plays an important role.
Apart from the HF system technology, the hardware design for the discrete and the integrated circuit technology (RFIC) is of importance. The use of fast digital circuits is also becoming increasingly important in the high-frequency sector.
The development plans for future projects of the department cover large parts of the microwave range over 40 GHz.
Prerequisites
You should have a degree in electronics engineering (university/technical college) and be specialised in high-frequency technology or communications engineering. Practical experience in analogue design or radio engineering is an asset. Depending on the field of activity, the following additional qualifications are necessary:
- analogue circuit design
- HF circuit and system simulation under HP-ADS or MATLAB
- application of high-frequency measuring technology
- digital signal processing
- analogue IC design
- simulation, design and measuring of antennae
- hardware-related programming
