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.

Zsolt Kállai, Doran Nettig and Jan-Erik Rath represented the IFPT at the EmpowerAX Science Day 2024. This year, the topic of quality assurance and sustainability in fibre-reinforced 3D printing was highlighted in numerous presentations from industry and research. In the CFRP Wing Lab at the DLR Institute of Lightweight Systems in Braunschweig, there was also the opportunity to network with technology providers and users in the field of additive manufacturing of fibre-plastic composites. The DLR Innovation Lab EmpowerAX is an international platform of various industrial companies and research institutions for collaboration in the further development of fibre-reinforced 3D printing.

Air freight transport is to be made more resource-efficient and efficient with the use of AI Making the future of air freight more efficient and environmentally friendly - that is the goal of the German-Luxembourg project "eCargo - efficient cargo packing", in which the Institute for Aircraft Production Technology at the Technical University of Hamburg is also involved. With the help of artificial intelligence (AI), loading methods and packing structures are to be optimized and packaging controls made easier. The project is also developing the necessary sensors for this. For example, factors such as the weight and load-bearing capacity of individual cargo items can be taken into account in real time in order to develop new loading strategies. These should make it possible to fully utilize cargo space in aircraft and avoid unused space. The TU Hamburg is concentrating on improving the loading of air freight pallets. The "eCargo" project is planned for three years. A technical demonstrator will soon be set up in Hamburg to test the optimized processes. A joint demonstration by all project partners is planned for 2027. The project partners include the sensor manufacturers ITConcepts and ESPACE2001, the software and automation specialists 3D.aero and the air freight experts Köhl Maschinenbau and Lödige. The launch event in Berlin in June was attended by Luxembourg's Deputy Prime Minister Xavier Bettel and the German Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection Robert Habeck, among others.
