Internship in design and simulation of an analog computation unit
Developing innovative technology solutions and bringing them to application - that is our goal at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS. With our expertise in the development of photonic microsystems, related technologies including nanoelectronics and wireless communication solutions, we create - in flexible and interdisciplinary teams - technologies for innovative products in a wide range of markets such as automotive, industrial and aerospace.
Quantum technology has been a highly researched topic in the recent past and to contribute to this vastly growing new field of data processing has been a challenging yet intriguing venture. The Fraunhofer IPMS as a part of its projects also contributes to this exciting domain especially focusing on optical quantum sources and systems. The internship aims at supporting research activities that intend to understand and analyze such quantum phenomenon.
Digital sampling due to its discrete nature in the time and amplitude domain leads to unwanted effects such as aliasing and loss of accuracy on the signal to be processed. The goal would be to design and simulate an analog computation unit that would work purely in a continuous domain, thereby preventing adverse effects due to the amplitude quantization with digital sampling techniques. To design, simulate and analyze an analog computation unit and to understand the adverse effects that such analog computation approaches bring with them would form the core of the internship.
What you will do
- Shortlisting existing commercial amplifiers against a given specification
- Analog design and simulation in LtSpice
- Evaluating the design by performing time and frequency domain analysis
- Documentation of results
What you bring to the table
- Studies in the field of electrical / electronic engineering or a similar field of studies
- Fundamentals of circuit design
- Basic knowledge of simulation with LtSpice or similar Software
- Independent and self-organized way of working as well as being interested in gaining experience in an international environment
- Good German or good English skills round off your profile
What you can expect
We offer you an exciting task and valuable insights into the methods and procedures of a modern high-tech research institute.
