DCF-77 Receiver for FMCW Radar
RF/analog front-end + MSP430 C firmware decoding 60-bit time data; automatic RTC sync for embedded radar. PCB in Altium.
Electronics/embedded engineer & certified project manager (PMP®, PMI-ACP®, PSM I) with 7+ years in telecom and airport systems. Now pursuing an M.Sc. in Electronics & Computer Engineering at FH Joanneum, focusing on power electronics, embedded C (MSP430/ARM), and RF/analog. Current thesis: building a DCF-77 receiver for FMCW radar — from PCB design to firmware.

RF/analog front-end + MSP430 C firmware decoding 60-bit time data; automatic RTC sync for embedded radar. PCB in Altium.

LTspice modeling of resonant topologies (ZVS/ZCS), transformer design with Litz wire, prototype build and performance analysis.

Compared kernel GPIO vs. MMIO for PWM; measured jitter & clock precision under system load; integrated with RTC example.
Open to internships, working student roles, and junior positions in power electronics, embedded, or test engineering.
