At the Advanced Networking Lab and Center for Wireless Technology Eindhoven of the TU/e we have two open PhD positions in the context of the recently granted Advanced Electrical Wiring project. This project, led by Fokker Elmo, is part of the large Dutch National Growth Fund project Aerospace in Transition .

The project aims at developing advanced technologies for power distribution and intra-aircraft data communication. One of the technologies for data distribution that the project will investigate is ultra- reliable wireless communication.

In the case of avionics, the most important advantages of wireless systems are weight reduction, resulting in less fuel consumption, flexibility, ease of layout, maintenance and modification. Despite their advantages, wireless technologies have been hardly adopted in aviation where most intra-aircraft connectivity relies on wired technologies. The use of wireless technologies is limited to in-flight online interconnectivity for the customers and... More Detail
