Call for fellowships

Reference: Bl-BL/60017/EBGCOM_UTM

Instituo de Engenharia de Sistemas e Computadores do Porto is accepting applications to grant fellowships to graduates, to work in a research project, in the framework of Scientific Research and Technological Development Projects, managed by Science & Technology Foundation, included in the Community Support Framework 2000-2006, supported by European Regional Development Fund, European Science Foundation and the Portuguese State Budget.

Work Area: RF and Microwave Electronics; Antenna Design; Communication systems; Wireless and optical communications

Description of the work to be carried out: Electromagnetic bandgap structures are microwave or millimeter-wave-scaled counterparts of photonic crystals. The main objective of this project is to design, develop and implement novel RF/microwave components based on the electromagnetic bandgap technology that find applications in broadband communications.

The fellow will study the supporting theory of these structures and do a careful evaluation of the most suitable simulation methods. Three main types of microwave devices based on electromagnetic bandgap technology will be signed, simulated and characterized: antennas, filters and delay lines.

Type of Fellowship: Research Fellowships – Bachelors and Graduates (Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
Duration of the Fellowship: from 3 July 2006-2 July 2007 (12 months/Renewable)
Minimum Profile required: Knowledge in RF/Microwave Electronics and Communication Systems.
Application period: 14-28 June 2006
Required documents: Letter of application (clearly stating the reference of the Call), Curriculum Vitae (stating the course average) and Copy of the Diploma (it can be sent later)

All applications must be sent to:
