Congratulations, you won!

Master Thesis, 30 hp: Multi-Channel IQ Data Generation with Angle of Arrival

Solna,

Sweden

Closing date: 18 November 2026

Apply for this job!

Are you a student eager to apply your theoretical knowledge and fresh perspectives to real-world challenges? At Saab, we believe that innovation thrives on new ideas, and your master thesis project could be the spark that ignites our next technological breakthrough.

Your role

We recognize the immense value that students bring to our company. Your academic rigor, combined with your enthusiasm for cutting-edge technology, allows you to approach problems with a unique and insightful lens. At Saab, you'll have the opportunity to collaborate with experienced engineers and specialists, gaining invaluable practical experience while making a tangible contribution to our growth and development.

Description of the Thesis Project

This thesis focuses on developing a simulator for generating the channel phase deltas according to the Angle of Arrival (AoA). These phase differences will then be used to generate IQ-data with AoA information by a separate component outside the scope of this thesis. The generated IQ streams will be used for test and verification of FPGA-applications.

The simulator will take a pulse descriptor word (PDW) or similar signal description as input and generate four synchronized phase delta streams corresponding to a signal arriving from the direction specified in the PDW. By adjusting the phase between the four I/Q streams relative to a receiving antenna array with fixed element spacing, a specific angle is obtained

The work will include

• Modelling of signals received by multiple antennas
• Investigating the relationship between AoA and antenna-channel phase/time differences
• Implementation of a configurable phase delta generator
• Verification of the generated phase deltas
• Integration with FPGA simulation and testbench environments
• Language: VHDL, Python, C++

The thesis combines digital signal processing, mathematical modelling and software development.

Your profile

The project is suitable for one student with an interest in signal processing, radar, communications or FPGA technology. You are in the final stage of Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Computer Engineering, Data Engineering or equivalent and are about to begin a 30 hp thesis project. Experience with Python, FPGA development is beneficial

We provide the support and guidance you need to translate your theoretical knowledge into practical solutions. Join us and become a driving force behind Saab's technological advancements!

This position requires that you pass a security vetting based on the current regulations around/of security protection. For positions requiring security clearance additional obligations on citizenship may apply.

Sofie found the sense of community she was looking for

3 min

Sofie Franzén didn’t quite know what to expect from Saab. Maybe something a bit stiff, a bit old-fashioned. That turned out to be wrong. Completely wrong.

Raymond has never had to leave Saab to grow

2 min

It was a passion for aviation that first drew Raymond Basudde here. He’d studied aeronautical engineering, been in touch with Saab during his studies and seen the chance to be part of developing the next generation of flight systems.

Creating the best conditions for employees to succeed

5 min

According to Anna, Saab has some of the coolest products in the world and this is something we should be proud of. It is impressive, to say the least, that in a country as small as Sweden we are able to compete and be world leaders in technology, combat & defence aircraft.
