Masters Research Project: Development of a drone based signal strength verification system

This opportunity allows a postgraduate student to pursue a Master's-level research project focused on developing a drone-based system to measure and record signal strength from a central transmitter. The project aims to improve the accuracy of signal predictions for SKA operations and RFI mitigation by using real-time measurements.

Who it is for: postgraduate students in engineering with strong analytical and RF hardware design skills
How to act on it: Submit a research project proposal through SARAO's application process, including Section A and B, under the supervision of Dr Riaan Wolhuter at Stellenbosch University
