About the Engineering Competition
The Rohde & Schwarz Engineering Competition is aimed at students of electrical engineering, communications engineering and computer science worldwide!
Would you like to work on a real technical challenge from the development life of Rohde & Schwarz?
Then the Engineering Competition is just right for you! In addition to an exciting task, you can put your previous knowledge into practice, learn new skills and expand your professional network.
Get some insipration and read thorugh our challenge from 2021:
The challenge 2021: bring signal analysis to the next level and develop a smart algorithm to estimate the right signal parameters
Participants in 2021 get the chance to use the R&S®VSE vector signal explorer software, our state-of-the-art signal analysis software. It brings the experience and power of Rohde & Schwarz signal analysis to the desktop, offering a wide range of analysis tools. With this software, users analyze and troubleshoot analog and digitally modulated signals for a wide range of standards.
Getting through the challenge within four steps was the key to our $ 10,000 price money!:
1. Students had to use the R&S®VSE to estimate the signal parameters of several demo signals
2. Developed a python program to automatically estimate signal parameters
3. Submited a code, which was tested against an unknown new signal
4. and finally improved and resubmitted their code until they made it to the finals.
How was the ranking of the code determined? The ranking criteria were error vector magnitude (EVM) and number of correctly estimated parameters.
The whole competition took place online.
Stay tuned for competition updated. All details will be published here in beginning of 2022!
