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.

Students in the Aeronautics master’s program at hashtag#TUHH participate in a Systems Engineering Development Project (hashtag#SEP), where they work in teams on current and relevant research topics such as hydrogen-powered aircraft, foldable wings, air taxis, or collaborative aircraft design. This week we organized an internal conference, which marks the end of the current SEP. This conference provides students with the opportunity to present their results and insights to fellow students, professors, and research associates from the involved institutes. This semester, the research institutes hashtag#ILT (Institute for Air Transportation Systems) and hashtag#FST were part of the SEP. We would like to especially thank all students for their very interesting presentations, engaging live demonstrations, and valuable discussions. We are confident that the past four months have been a great learning experience for you!
