PhD Scholarship in fixed and wireless unified signal transport

COM•DTU is developing an integrated access system, as well as technologies which enable realization of cost-effective broadband optical access network. Services for high bit-rate fixed, and high-speed wireless systems are integrated into a common platform. In such future networks, the wireless signals arriving to the remote access node will have different modulation formats, speeds and service requirements according to the various existing and emerging standards. Moreover, it is preferred that the optical link to the customer premises, or at least the last span of it, is implemented by using a single fibre where bidirectional communication is still possible. The PhD student will investigate transmission techniques of multi-standard wireless signals over a broadband bidirectional access optical signal distributor.
The position entails rich possibilities for cross-disciplinary work, especially with the Nanophotonic group and other research groups at COM•DTU. The candidate is expected to conduct a research stay of up to 18 months with our project partner, the Scuola Superiore Sant’ Anna, Pisa, Italy.
