🏢 About the Company and the Department

The internship will take place within the R&D department dedicated to radio unit (RU) design and testing, with a specific focus on power amplifiers and analog system architectures. This team plays a key role in developing and benchmarking next-generation RF hardware in the context of Open RAN and advanced signal processing systems.

📚 Learning Objectives

Throughout the internship, the student will:

• Learn to characterize analog components such as power amplifiers, filters, and gain stages.

• Gain experience in automating laboratory tests using Python or MATLAB scripts.

• Work with advanced testing platforms such as ADRV9040 and RFSoC ZCU670.

• Analyze benchmarking results related to power amplifiers and digital pre-distortion (DPD) techniques.

• Collaborate in the conceptual design and validation of innovative analog architectures for radio units.

• Learn to document testing procedures and results according to collaborative project standards.

• Develop skills in automating testing processes and performing data analysis in RF environments.

Mentoring and Monitoring

• A specialized company tutor will oversee the student's progress throughout the internship.

• Learning goals will be defined at the beginning of the internship, with regular reviews and personalized feedback sessions.

• Mentorship will focus on enhancing both technical and analytical capabilities in a supportive, learning-driven environment.
