RF Circuit Designfor Zero Energy Communication

Job description: Our ambition for 6G communication is to drastically reduce the Energy in IoT. For that purpose we aim at developing an integrated circuit enabling zero Energy communication. The objective of this PhD is to design this circuit in FD-SOI and operating in the 2.4 GHz. In this PhD, we propose to use a new design technique which is currently revolutionizing the radio-frequency design. We expect that many innovations can be carried out during this PhD by combining those two innovations. The candidate will integrate a large design team and he will participate in collaborative project at european level. As a first step, he will analyze the system constraints to choose the best architecture and derive the specifications. Then, he will formalize mathematically the performances of the backscattering technique in order to setup a design methodology. Then he will be working full time on circuit design, sending to fabrication two circuits in 22 um technology. He will be also involve in the test of the circuit as well as in the preparation of a demonstrator of the backscattering techniques. We expect to publish several papers in high level conferences.
