The NXP Leuven design center focuses on ultra-low-power ICs for the healthcare segment. We offer internships to master students willing to extend their knowledge with a practical assignment. The goal of this internship is to assess the impact of the load impedance of a Bluetooth Low Energy Receiver, on transmitter modulation quality. In the past the impedance of the balun has been optimized for Tx Power Amplifier (PA) efficiency. We want to repeat this exercise now for optimizing Initial Frequency Drift. The student intern will work on an existing validation setup and perform following tasks: * Building up knowledge on the existing IC, the validation setup in the lab and the software/hardware environment/tools. * Get acquainted with load-pull measurement equipment * Perform exhaustive sweeps across the impedance ranges with differential antenna interface * Demonstrate the results * Report conclusions and formulate concrete advices * Write a final report and make a presentation of the results
