Intorduction: | How nice is it to work on a high-tech development that contributes to the world of tomorrow? We are looking for an ambitious student who can help our Electrical Systems team with their project concerning the antenna systems of the first flying car! We think it is important that you can grow in your profession, that is why you will work with experienced colleagues to make this project a success!

Description: | The PAL-V vehicle (see www.pal-v.com ) uses a receiver/transmitter for communication at the 118 - 136 MHz band. It uses amplitude modulation, predominantly A3E double sideband with full carrier. A transponder is installed as well, working at 1030 MHz and 1090 MHz. In case of a crash, an Emergency Locator Transmitter is activated working at 406 MHz. The PAL-V structure consists of steel tubes. This frame is covered by carbon composite panels that can be regarded as semiconducting. The mast is made out of aluminum and is covered with carbon composite panels. Clearly this is not the optimal environment for efficient transmission. The research question is to find suitable locations and antenna solutions delivering the best reception/transmission efficiency, and radiation pattern. Your tasks:
