Welcome to the Institute of High-Frequency Technology

On our website you will find insights into our diverse research projects, as well as information about our staff, courses, publications, and the latest news from our institute.

Together with our project partners, we conduct research on innovative topics such as non-contact vital signs measurement using radar for medical, veterinary and industrial applications. Other projects focus on ultra-low power communication networks, permittivity measurements and quantum computing research.

A distinctive feature of our institute is our combination of theoretical and experimental work. We employ advanced simulation techniques, manufacturing processes, precision measurement technology, as well as signal processing and machine learning for data analysis. Thanks to our in-house PCB manufacturing, precision mechanics workshop, and various 3D printers, we can rapidly implement theoretical concepts and test them in our antenna measurement chamber or on our linear stage.

Feel free to contact us directly to learn more about our work.

Caspar Wasle wurde als Teilnehmer des International Space Weather Camps (ISWC) ausgewählt. Dieses vom DLR Neustrelitz, der South African National Space Agency (SANSA) und der University of Alabama in Huntsville organisierte Camp bietet Studenten und Absolventen von Studienfächern der Mathematik, Physik, Informatik und Ingenieurswissenschaften die Möglichkeit, sich intensiv mit dem spannenden und hochaktuellen Thema Weltraumwetter zu beschäftigen. Caspar Wasle hat sich zuvor als Wissenschaftliche Hilfskraft und im Rahmen seiner Bachelorarbeit am Institut im Bereich der Satellitenkommunikation (SANTANA-Aero 2) als äußerst engagierter Student hervorgetan. Wir haben Ihn sehr gerne bei seiner Bewerbung für einen Platz beim ISWC unterstützt und freuen uns, dass wir ihm nun zur Annahme gratulieren können. Im Namen des ganzen Instituts wünschen wir Caspar viel Spaß während der drei sicherlich sehr interessanten und lehrreichen Wochen.

We are happy to welcome two long-term visitors in the summer term 2023 at our instiute, Prof. Dr. Michael R. Fellows and Dr. Frances A. Rosamond! Michael Ralph Fellows is a computer scientist and has been an Elite Professor of Computer Science at the University of Bergen, Norway, since January 2016. Prior to that, the was a professor at Charles Darwin University, Australia, and director of the Parameterized Complexity Research Unit. He has taught in the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia, as well as in the United Kingdom and Europe and lectured around the world. In 2018, the computer scientist was also awarded membership in the Academia Europaea. In 2016, he received Australia's highest civilian honor, the Order of Australia, Companion to the Queen. Fellows already received the Humboldt Research Award in 2007 and is now once again again in Germany at the invitation of the Foundation. The Humboldt Research Fellowship offers outstanding scientists and scholars from all over the world the opportunity to from all over the world the opportunity to carry out a long-term research project of their choice research project in cooperation with a research institution in Germany. Frances Ann Novak Rosamond is an Australian computer scientist whose research interests include computer education and parameterized complexity. She is the editor of the Parameterized Complexity Newsletter, moderator of the parameterized complexity wiki, and publicity chair of the International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation. We hope the couple has a fun and productive stay at our Institute! See also: https://www.tuhh.de/spektrum/2304/epaper/ausgabe.pdf, Page 10.
