Optimization of a Calibration Facility for a Novel Gradient Magnetic Field Probe Operating over the Frequency Range 3 kHz - 10 MHz
JOBS Optimization of a Calibration Facility for a Novel Gradient Magnetic Field Probe working in the Frequency Range 3 kHz–10 MHz
Semester / Master's Work – Optimization of a Calibration Facility for a Novel Gradient Magnetic Field Probe Operating over the Frequency Range 3 kHz – 10 MHz
The IT’IS Foundation, in support of Zurich 42 partner Schmid and Partner Engineering AG (SPEAG), is developing a new gradient magnetic field probe (MAGPy) for measuring newly introduced high power near-field sources, such as wireless power transfer (WPT) systems that operate over the frequency range 3 kHz – 10 MHz.
As SPEAG's existing certified calibration facility is not suitable for this novel device, a new calibration facility is under development.
In this project, the successful candidate will work to 1) fully automate the calibration procedure by incorporating the use of SPEAG's DASY robot; 2) develop a new post-processing tool; 3) characterize the completed calibration facility with respect to the calibration of the MAGPy probe.
We are seeking a student with very good programming skills (Python; C a plus) and knowledge of electromagnetics.
The workflow will include:
- gaining initial understanding of the MAGPy probe and the calibration procedure so far developed
- optimization of the calibration procedure through robot automation
- development and validation of the post-processing tool
- characterization of the completed facility with respect to the calibration of the MAGPy probe
