Bachelor Thesis: EMI Measurement Environment for 13.56 MHz RFID Systems (m/f/d)
Develop an EMI measurement setup and calibration methodology for 13.56 MHz RFID systems using magnetic loop antennas and spectrum analyzers.
Originally posted 2 November 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This Bachelor thesis project focuses on developing and validating an EMI measurement setup for 13.56 MHz RFID systems in collaboration with NXP Austria. You will investigate the physical measurement environment and calibration methodology required to achieve repeatable electromagnetic emission measurements.
What you'll do
- Analyze measurement methods and electromagnetic emission limits for 13.56 MHz RFID systems.
- Select and integrate measurement equipment, including EMI receivers, spectrum analyzers, loop antennas, cables, and preamplifiers.
- Implement the physical measurement environment and develop a calibration concept.
- Assess measurement uncertainty and critical setup parameters, including grounding, shielding, and receiver settings.
- Validate the setup using reference sources and conduct validation measurements.
- Document the measurement setup, calibration procedure, and achieved measurement accuracy.
What you'll need
- Ongoing enrollment in a Bachelor's degree program in electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, information and computer engineering, or a related field at an Austrian university/FH.
- Basic RF and EMC knowledge.
- Familiarity with laboratory instrumentation and interest in measurement technology.
- Solid English language skills.
