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.

From June 18 - 20, 2022, the first IEEE MTT-S International Conference on Microwave Acoustics & Mechanics (IC-MAM) was held in Munich, Germany. In an exciting conference program that included six sessions, three plenary lectures, and one panel, 32 high quality publications from 12 different countries, were presented to over 100 registered participants. Recent advances in new materials and fabrication processes, components and devices critical to the development of future RF, microwave, mm-wave and THz devices, circuits and systems based on RF MEMS and acoustics were discussed. Dr. Fabian Lurz, senior engineer at IHF, served on the organizing committee as Publications Chair.
