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 anounce, that Prof Stefan Heinrich, will hold a presentation about "Multi-scale modelling and characterization of dense gas-solid flows" at the Glatt Colloquium on Powder Technology. If you are interested, the registration of the event is open until October, 1st. At the colloquium you will get a comprehensive overview of processes for thermal powder production:  - Particle/process gas interaction  - Production of raw materials and precursors  - Processes in the synthesis reactor  - Downstream processes  - Analytics  - Application examples For synthesis, coating and calcination of micro- and and nanopowders, treatment in a pulsating hot gas pulsating hot gas flow has proven to be advantageous in numerous cases. Learn more about this technology and its potential. We have succeeded in bringing together leading scientists in this field. In this way, we can shed light on the entire process chain in the production of novel powders, both theoretically and by means of selected examples. Who should attend? Are you a materials scientist, product developer and are you involved in research or production? The colloquium is basically aimed at anyone who is looking for novel ways to manufacture, coat and thermally post-treat fine powders – from the nano to the micrometer range. Solutions for complex stoichiometry and crystal structure requirements, for example in mixed oxides, will be considered, as well as options for organic and inorganic core-shell coating and aspects of calcination. The combination of theoretical considerations and practical experience takes into account different levels of prior knowledge. How to participate? Date: October 29-30, 2024 Location: Glatt Engineering GmbH, Nordstraße 12, 99427 Weimar Participation fee: 120 € (plus VAT) Costs for the evening program on 29.10.2024 are included Registration: Please register bindingly by 01.10.2024 at the latest. Upon request, you will also receive recommendations for overnight accommodation in the cultural city of Weimar. Back to Institute SPE - News
