Bachelor Thesis: Investigation and Mitigation of Common-Mode Emissions in RFID Systems (m/f/d)
Investigate common-mode current mechanisms and mitigation techniques in 13.56 MHz RFID systems.
Originally posted 2 November 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This Bachelor thesis role focuses on investigating common-mode current mechanisms and mitigation approaches in 13.56 MHz RFID systems at NXP Austria in Gratkorn.
What you'll do
- Study common-mode and differential-mode current mechanisms in electronic systems.
- Investigate potential radiation and coupling paths through measurements and analysis.
- Study the influence of mechanical and electrical design parameters.
- Evaluate mitigation approaches such as common-mode chokes, ferrites, shielding, and grounding concepts.
- Validate selected improvement measures experimentally and document the results.
What you'll need
- Ongoing enrollment in Bachelor studies of electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, information and computer engineering, or a similar discipline at an Austrian university/FH.
- Basic knowledge of RF electronics or EMC.
- Interest in measurement techniques.
- Willingness to perform hands-on laboratory work.
- Solid English language skills.
