Engineering

Work description

1. Design of PCBs for unit cell testing in waveguide setups and development of PCBs for reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS). 2. Implementation, testing, and optimization of RIS control algorithms on microcontroller-based platforms. 3. Functional testing of developed PCBs, including experimental validation of electronic circuits and S-parameter characterization using a vector network analyzer (VNA). 4. Experimental characterization of different RIS configurations in a controlled environment (anechoic chamber). 5. Preparation of the technical activity report within the scope of the research grant.
