We are currently looking for two proactive candidates with high commitment and right attitude to work on the industrial project entitled “RF Semiconductor Ceramic Filter Design, Modelling, and Characterization for Implementation on integrated ceramic waveguide block, with Device and System Evaluation on Wireless System Evaluation Kit at Gigahertz frequency”. Stipend: RM 3,000.00 Net/Month for 2 years. Malaysian Only Executive Summary of Research Proposal: 5G systems are 10x as fast and 100x larger in network capacity as a 4G system. The new technology system requires smaller form factors, more advanced performance requirements, and above all, lower manufacturing costs. Microwave filters are an essential component of a cellular base station, used to cancel system noise and to provide isolation between transmit and receive channels. Cellular base stations widely use low cost, high Q coaxial TEM filters. Despite having good electrical performance, they suffer from large physical volume which needs to be reduced in future cellular systems. The dielectric loaded filters and waveguide filters offer high Q but have poor out of band rejection due to their crowded mode spectrum. In this proposal a high permittivity integrated ceramic waveguide filter which offers 50% size reduction in comparison with conventional coaxial TEM filters is proposed. The high-performance ceramic loaded waveguide filter prototype will be locally mathematically synthesized and designed and fabricated to achieve low loss (high Q) less than 1 dB and high stopband rejection of 50 dB at operation frequency band from 3 GHz to 4 GHz. The prototypes will be tested and validated to meet the industrial filter specifications which is ideal for 5G massive MIMO antenna and small cell integration. The project is aimed to develop the local product and manufacturing capability in terms of human capital, design and fabrication house riding on the strong market demand driven by 5G applications. It is also served to consolidate and integrate the upstream design chain to downstream product manufacturing locally.
