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 delighted to announce the successful participation of Christian Masuhr and Lukas Büsch at the 20th Global Conference on Sustainable Manufacturing (GCSM) at the Vietnamese-German University! This spectacular event, organized by TU Berlin, Fraunhofer IPK, and VGU, and supported by CIRP and additional sponsors, provided the perfect platform for groundbreaking ideas in green hydrogen technology. Christian Masuhr presented his paper: “Authoring for Augmented Reality Assistance in Inspection Scenarios for Green Hydrogen Applications,” while Lukas Büsch delivered a talk on: “Human-Action-Recognition Dataset for Manual Assembly Tasks.” These works will be published by Springer to further promote academic dissemination. The conference offered not only exciting insights into hydrogen projects in Vietnam and innovative mobility solutions but also opened up new opportunities for future collaborations. In addition to a rich scientific exchange, there was a wonderful opportunity to experience Vietnam and its fascinating culture up close. A complete success for our team and a significant milestone in green manufacturing methods!

On October 17th and 18th, we had the pleasure of attending the annual conference of the Collaborative Research Center "Smart Reactors". It was a wonderfully organized event with outstanding contributions from all participating researchers. Our PhD students, Maike Orth and Shaik Asif delivered excellent presentations and engaged actively in discussions during the poster session. Beyond the exceptional scientific exchange, a special highlight was Thursday evening’s boat trip, where we enjoyed great food and lively conversations in a relaxed atmosphere.  A big thank you to everyone involved (especially Irina Smirnova, Michael Schlüter and Monika Johannsen) for making this such a memorable gathering!
