Innovative communication systems are key technologies for digitalization and pave the way for a hyper-connected economy and society. The future mobile communications standard 6G will play an important role in this. The subject of 6G development is communication in the D-band (110 – 170 GHz), which entails high data rates, large bandwidths and low latency. One scenario of an application in an industrial environment is human-machine interaction, in which a participant in a production section, e.g., a robot, transmits its telemetry data, configurations or control algorithms to user equipment (UE), which is operated by a worker, for example in the form of a digital twin. In order to achieve the promised data rates in D-band transceiver systems, beamforming is used to create a narrow but powerful, directional antenna characteristic. The aim of the work is to determine requirements for the dynamics of a beam former in order to be able to follow a moving target in the above-mentioned application.

The subtasks consist of:

  • Creation of a motion sequence that simulates a worker on a machine.
  • Recording the movements with sensors (e.g. using a Raspberry Pi).
  • Drawing conclusions about the requirements for the dynamics of a beamformer in order to be able to follow the movements.

Requirements:

  • Student from EEI, IuK or similar
  • Independent and orderly way of working and documenting
  • Interest in the subject
  • desirable: Basic knowledge of Python and working with a Raspberry Pi and Basic knowledge of beamforming
