The use of antenna arrays is at the core of the fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication technology. By using boxes with a large number of individually controllable antennas, the wireless signals can be directed at the users, so that more signal energy is reaching them. In addition, several users can receive data simultaneously and be separated in the spatial dimension, instead of in time and frequency as in traditional systems. In these ways, wireless technology becomes more spectral and energy efficient. Multi-antenna communications are here to stay, but how will technology evolve beyond 5G?
In this project, you will develop theory and algorithms for communications and sensing that have the potential to revolutionize multi-antenna systems. Three examples are user-centric “cell-free” distributed antenna systems, holographic MIMO, and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces. The research will be theory-driven and focus on establishing the fundamental performance limits of one or more of these new concepts, as well as developing effective signal processing algorithms and protocols to approach these limits in practical contexts.
The research is funded by a Future Research Leader grant awarded to Emil Björnson (IEEE Fellow). The following video gives a deeper background to the project: https://youtu.be/chmZ8cdyTMc

Requirements
Preferred qualifications
We are looking for a motivated researcher with good collaboration skills who can work independently, but also contribute to the research group with new knowledge and be a role model for the doctoral students. Well-developed analytical and problem-solving skills are a requirement, as is teamwork abilities.
Great emphasis will be placed on personal qualities and personal suitability. The research is expected to use methodology from signal processing, communication theory, wave propagation, and machine learning. Documented experience of conducting research in these areas is commendable, particularly by having published at least three scientific articles in top-tier scientific journals.
For KTH and the research group, awareness of diversity, gender equality, and equal treatment issues is important.
Great emphasis will be placed on personal competency.
You will find contact information to trade union representatives at KTH's web page.
Log into KTH's recruitment system in order to apply to this position. You are the main responsible to ensure that your application is complete according to the ad.
