Wireless time-frequency synchronization in a distributed joint communication and sensing (JCAS) system
Master internship – Leuven | More than two weeks ago
Exploiting modern wireless communication systems for high-resolution sensing.
In a modern wireless distributed system, different nodes of the system require a common time and frequency reference. This synchronization requirement is very stringent for sensing and cannot be accomplished using the existing and well‑proven synchronization techniques for wireless communication systems. A slight mismatch in time synchronization can result in a very different space location of the same target when viewed from different nodes. Similarly, frequency offset will cause error in speed. Therefore, enabling multi‑node sensing demands techniques to achieve tight synchronization (time and frequency) among the nodes.
In this context, you will explore wireless self‑synchronization techniques for multi‑node sensing while the locations and orientations of the nodes are known. During this thesis you will have the opportunity to collaborate closely with our supportive and experienced team and strengthen your skills for signal processing and simulation related to JCAS.
