This PhD research project focuses on advancing the technology of Massive MIMO for 4D imaging radar. The goal is to create more feasible and robust radar observations by addressing current knowledge gaps and functional limitations. The project aims to optimize antenna placement and waveform design for these sensors, ultimately leading to improved accuracy, resolution, and range. This research has potential applications in areas like medical imaging, autonomous driving, and industrial automation. The research will involve theoretical work, simulation, and validation of developed techniques. The successful candidate will contribute to publications and potentially real-world applications, working within a leading research center in Luxembourg. The university offers a multilingual, international environment with strong ties to industry and a modern infrastructure.
