Summary

The objective of this internship is to test and validate electronic systems. The systems are mainly composed of analog boards: optical-to-electrical signal conversion module, current/voltage conversion module with gain amplification. Some PCB design work is also planned during the internship. The purpose of these electronic systems are for particle physics experiments (particle accelerator).

Full description

Context :

The DEDIP (Department of Electronics, Detectors, and Computing for Physics) and the DACM (Department of Accelerators, Cryogenics, and Magnetism) of the IRFU (Institute for Research on the Fundamental Laws of the Universe) design systems for large particle physics experiments (TITAN, FAIR, etc.), including the implementation of a linear particle accelerator.
The intern will be integrated into the Electronic System Integration Laboratory for Processing and Acquisition (LISETA) of the DEDIP, which is involved in the development and testing of electronic systems, among other tasks.
The department is responsible for the implementation of detectors, beamline systems, and electronic systems for signal control.
In this context, the candidate will participate in the testing and validation of several electronic systems: optical-to-electrical signal conversion module, current/voltage conversion module with gain amplification, remotely controllable via serial link. Other modules will be integrated into the internship depending on the progress of the candidate.

Mission:

As part of the project, the intern will have the following tasks:

• Validation of analog boards with hands-on use of laboratory equipment (oscilloscope, function generator, multimeter, signal acquisition and shaping system, etc.)
• Design (schematics and routing) of interface electronic boards
• Integration of electronic PCB
• Perform comprehensive tests for amplitude, Bode diagram, and linearity curve
• Provide a test report for all tested units

Depending on the progress, the intern may also participate in the development of other auxiliary electronic systems.
