2015-2016 Traineeship/ RF design engineer Airbus Group Space and Defence, Munich, Germany “Design and measurements of a 5GHz power amplifier module with housing integrated antenna” The goal was to design and build a 5 GHz power amplifier module for a C-Band data link applications. The topics were : ▪ – Screening of commerciallyavailable highly efficient power amplifiers (MMICs), pre-amplifier and antenna switch and selecting of optimum component. ▪ – Small-signal RF schematic simulation of the power amplifier module using the commercial software AWR ▪ – Layout of the printed circuit board for the power amplifier module ▪ – 3-D electromagnetic simulation of a microstrip-to-waveguide transition and of a waveguide aperture antenna ▪ – Layout of housing for the power amplifier module ▪ – RF-Measurement of the power amplifier module 2004-2009 Electronic Technician Istituto Tecnico Industriale Statale, Lorenzo Allievi, Terni, Italy Work of thesis:”Internet layer, historical origin and IPv4 vs IPv6” Knowledges of electronic and electrical manufacturing equipment in factories and in industrial facilities; 2009-2013 Electronic and Informatic Engineering Università degli studi di Perugia, Perugia, Italy Vote: 84/110 Bachelor Degree in Information Engineering (Laurea triennale) Bachelor thesis: “Indoor positioning technique based on Ultra Wide Band signals” Abstract “Positioning systems and techniques have attracted more and more attention in recent years, in particular with satellite navigation technology as a tremendous enabler, and developments in indoor navigation. The work presented in this thesis is a studying of an alternative solution to the indoor positioning problem, since the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs), e.g. the Global Positioning System (GPS), generally cannot provide reliable positioning services in indoor areas, due to strong signal attenuation and dense multipath effects. The project focuses on range-based technologies, which are mainly composed of two parts: 1) ranging based on information such as Time of Arrival (ToA), Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) and Received Signal Strength (RSS); 2) positioning using the obtained ranging results.” Main subject attended:  Electromagnetic Fields, RF Engineering, Circuit’s theory, Computer architecture, Fundamentals of telecommunication Visits  MICRON Tecnology Center in Avezzano (Aquila), Italy. Processes of the fabrication of silicon wafer; Back Side Illumination sensor.
