Research Assistant (gnss R Instrumentation And Applications)
Al-Ayn, United Arab Emirates
Job Description
The Electrical and Communications Engineering Department at the United Arab Emirates University is seeking a research assistant (i.e. PhD graduate student) on Global Navigation Satellite Systems Reflectometry (GNSS-R) to foster \xe2\x80\x9cpassive radar\xe2\x80\x9d instrumentation and applications, notably related to efficient water monitoring. Collateral applications to navigation and ionospheric monitoring are also foreseen. The position involves strong interaction with the National Space Science and Technology Center (NSSTC).
The research assistant should be knowledgeable in the areas of Remote Sensing, Signal Processing, Microwave Circuits, Antennas, and Software Defined Radios (SDRs), with interests in developing instrumentation, and should be able to conduct independent research on these topics.
The goal is to develop a flexible GNSS-R instrument, that could be tuned for different platforms, and -being passive- can be scaled in a future to Small Satellites (i.e. CubeSats). The instrument should be built at L-band (1-2 GHz), or at lower frequencies to benefit from other existing signals of opportunity, that could be used for applications of national interest.
The SDR developments will be developed in collaboration with a parallel PhD Thesis on GB-SAR.
