Netherlands: PhD in Radar Signal Processing

Deadline: 30th September, 2012

Job description

The proposed research addresses the design, evaluation and experimental validation of new wideband radar techniques for the reliable detection and location of slow and weak moving targets in heavy clutter environments, using advantages of high (metric) range resolution.

The following activities will be performed:
• Development and analysis of the algorithm(s) for non-ambiguous detection of small/weak moving targets in clutter, with adequate waveform coding and processing;
• Development and analysis of practical algorithm(s) for angular resolution of multiple extended targets.
The performances of this technique will be evaluated in simulations and validated with signals measured with real radar research platforms.

The expected results should cover a broad range of applications, such as situation awareness in defense and security applications, traffic control radars - both automotive and infrastructure-based (mounted on highways, crossroads, bridges) - and remote sensing applications using SAR.
The project has triggered the interest of the Dutch industry which will participate in the research and contribute to the study by making available operational radars for the data acquisition, thus complementing the available radars at TU Delft. The researcher will work in a very international team connected to the main academic and industrial actors in the field.

Conditions of employment

TU Delft offers an attractive benefits package, including a flexible work week, free high-speed Internet access from home (with a contract of two years or longer), and the option of assembling a customised compensation and benefits package (the 'IKA'). Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities.

For more information about this position, please contact Prof. F. Le Chevalier, phone: +31 (0)15-2785055, e-mail: F.LeChevalier@tudelft.nl. To apply, please e-mail a detailed CV along with a letter of application by 30 September 2012 to L. M. Ophey, HR-EEMCS@tudelft.nl.
When applying for this position, please refer to vacancy number EWI2012-24.
