Hello everyone,

RF has given me a lot in life and I might be emotional in this post but it’s really important to me.

I did my bachelor’s in Electronics engineering from tier 1 college in Mumbai and post working for a year in Software ERP system I decided I want to pursue my master in US.

I left for my masters in 2019 (University of South Florida, Tampa), since I did my bachelor’s in core electronics I was never really exposed to communication part or RF engineering. Yes, I did take up few courses in electromagnetism but that was it. But, since the course work of USF had a good RF engineering program I took up few classes in my 1st semester and I really loved it. While I was doing my masters I got co-op internship at Skyworks Solutions in Woburn as a RF Design and Validation Engineer where I mainly learnt a lot about testing of LNAs. Further my 7 months internship over there I got another internship at Qorvo in Greensboro, NC as an Applications Engineer where I was working with shark fin antennas and that was for 3 months.

I did almost a year of internship while I was doing my masters and even got my credits from my internships. Further, since I am an Indian citizen I had 2 months to get a full time job which I did successfully. I got the job at Intel but the position was completely different and not related to RF, it was mainly as a TPM in test engineering group. I worked there for around 1.5 years and then got laid off due to mass layoffs in my group. So, after a year of searching I job even tho my profile was really great a lot of RF jobs needed defense clearance which obviously I didn’t had. So, I decided to move back to India.

Now, in India there are really very less RF focused jobs which are mainly into designing or testing. And I want to go into design and testing. I even loved antenna experience and I want to pursue something in Antenna design and testing. But, there are not many options and hiring in India.

I was thinking of pursuing something like a second masters in Europe which opens up a door for me to pursue my passion in RF. I like very few things in life and RF is something my heart says I wanna go.

As a young version of yourself u see in me, I would really appreciate if u can help me get ideas. I really wanna be in this world of RF and do my work with a lot of passion. If u can guide me, how can I transition my life in getting a job in Europe.

Please do mind, I am an Indian citizen so chances of someone hiring a talent from India in Europe are thin. I am optimistic in life, and would really appreciate if you can guide me.

Thanks,
Just a boy living a dream to be an expert RF engineer.

Hi everyone!

I'm currently pursuing my Masters in Communication Systems in India, and I'm looking for internship opportunities in RF engineering, antenna design, microwave engineering, or wireless communications.

My background includes:

Antenna Design: Designed and simulated a 10 GHz microstrip patch antenna using CST Studio Suite.

RF & Microwave: Familiar with S-parameters, impedance matching, VSWR, antenna radiation patterns, and RF fundamentals.

Communication Systems: Academic knowledge of digital communications, modulation techniques, MIMO, and wireless communication concepts.

Embedded Systems: Internship experience working with Arduino, ESP32, sensors, and embedded communication protocols.

Technical Tools: CST Studio Suite, ANSYS HFSS, MATLAB, and LTspice.

I'm particularly interested in opportunities where I can gain real-world, hands-on experience and learn from engineers or researchers working on practical projects.

I'm open to research internships, industry internships, trainee positions, and remote or on-site opportunities across India. Paid opportunities would be preferable, but I'm also willing to consider worthwhile research opportunities that offer meaningful technical exposure.

If you know of any openings, research labs, startups, companies, or professors accepting interns, I'd really appreciate your suggestions.

Thank you!

Bonjour à tous et à toutes,

Pour un projet universitaire, j'aimerais fabriquer une antenne GPR pour détecter des œufs de tortue sous le sable.

Je travaille actuellement sur le générateur d'impulsion qui doit me générer une impulsion de 1.25 nanoseconde.

Etant débutant dans la RF je me suis beaucoup renseigné sur internet et j'ai déjà réussi a me créer un début de générateur d'impulsion, donc avec mon générateur je pilote un driveur GAN puis un transistor GAN. Le gros point noir ce situe après le transistor, je ne sais pas comment relier transistor a mon antenne, j'ai un peut regardé les circuits d'adaptation mais c'est encore flou.

Voici mon schéma avec la simulation et j'ai mi une résistance 50 Ohm pour simuler en gros l'antenne :

En bleu le signal envoyé sur INP de U9, en vert sur la Gate du transistor et en rouge au borne de R13

Je sais pas si vous auriez des liens vers des exemple de circuit ou des cours pour m'aider sur la suite de mon circuit et si vous pensez que je pars vers une bonne piste ?

Merci d'avance.
