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.

The Senate of the German Research Foundation (DFG) has elected Prof. Stefan Heinrich, head of the Institute of Particle Process Engineering and Particle Technology at the Hamburg University of Technology, as a member of the Senate Committee for Collaborative Research Centres and thus also as a scientific member of the Grants Committee for Collaborative Research Centres from 1 January 2025. The election is valid for both committees until December 31, 2027. The Senate Committee is composed of 39 scientists from various fields. Its task is to design the basic scientific features of the Collaborative Research Program and to evaluate the results of advisory discussions on draft proposals. As part of the Grants Committee on Collaborative Research Centres, the members are involved in decisions on the funding of Collaborative Research Centres, in which representatives of the federal and state governments also participate. The committee members also report on the process and results of reviews. “I am very pleased to take on this new and highly responsible task and would like to thank the German Research Foundation for its trust in our collaboration,” explains Prof. Heinrich. Further information about the Senate Committee on Collaborative Research Centres can be found here. Back to Institute SPE - News
