Wireless communication systems

• Modulation techniques (in particular OFDM)

• Digital signal processing algorithms and architectures (baseband processing)

• Knowledge of digital circuit design using VHDL

• Experience in implementing DSP-algorithms in hard- and software would be an
advantage.

Network technology and communication protocols (MAC and DLC layer)

• Knowledge of Wireless MAC Protocols such as IEEE802.11 and 802.15.3

• Quality of service mechanism (QoS)

• Experience using the Specification and Description Language (SDL) for protocol modelling
and implementation would be an advantage.

The positions offer excellent research facilities, a chance to pursue a PhD, and a challenging, multinational environment with excellent career prospects. You will have the opportunity to establish an international reputation at the forefront of communications technology.

The positions will be filled as quickly as possible. Salary will be paid according to the TV-L scale.
