Bachelor Thesis: EMI Measurement Environment for 13.56 MHz RFID Systems (m/f/d)

Bachelor Thesis in Collaboration with NXP Austria
We are looking for a Bachelor’s student currently enrolled at an Austrian university/FH who would like to conduct their Bachelor thesis in collaboration with NXP Austria.
The thesis topic will be defined in alignment with NXP and the respective educational institution. The thesis requires appropriate academic approval and supervision by the university/FH and will be carried out in accordance with the applicable university requirements.
Motivation: RFID systems operating at 13.56 MHz are widely used in industrial, automotive, and consumer applications. To ensure regulatory compliance, these systems must meet electromagnetic emission requirements, which are measured with a magnetic loop antenna.
 Research Topic: The goal of this thesis is to work on an EMI measurement setup for 13.56 MHz RFID systems and investigate both the physical setup and the calibration methodology required to achieve repeatable and accurate measurements. 
Analyze measurement methods and emission limits 
Select and integrate suitable measurement equipment (EMI receiver/spectrum analyzer, loop antennas, cables, preamplifiers) 
Implement the measurement environment
Develop a calibration concept
Assess measurement uncertainty and critical setup parameters including grounding, shielding, and receiver settings 
Validate the setup using reference sources and perform measurements
Document the setup, calibration procedure, and achieved measurement accuracy 
 Your Profile:
Ongoing enrollment in Bachelor studies of electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, information and computer engineering or similar
Basic RF/EMC knowledge, interest in measurement technology, and familiarity with laboratory instrumentation
Solid English language skills
For the successful completion of the Bachelor Thesis you will receive a remuneration of a one-time payment of EUR 2.300, - gross. Depending on the performance and end-result, an add-on payment is possible.
