Herzlich Willkommen am Institut für Hochfrequenztechnik

In der Closing Session der German Microwave Conference wurde Noah Sielck der Best Student Paper Award verliehen.

Am 13. und 14. September 2022 findet an der Technischen Universität Hamburg die 1. Summer School for Machine Learning in Engineering statt. Das Institut für Hochfrequenztechnik ist einer der Mitveranstalter.

Am 10. Mai 2022 hat Herr M.Sc. Moritz Hägermann erfolgreich seine Doktorarbeit mit dem Titel "Backward-Wave Phenomena in Helix Traveling-Wave Tube Amplifiers" verteidigt.

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.

Das Institut für Hochfrequenztechnik (IHF) der Technischen Universität Hamburg (TUHH) hat gemeinsam mit Forschern der FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg und der BTU Cottbus einen Artikel in der multidisziplinären Open-Access-Zeitschrift IEEE Access vorgestellt, bei dem die Einsatzmöglichkeiten von maschinellem Lernen zur Schätzung der Einfallsrichtung in Automobilradarsystemen untersucht werden.

Die virtuelle Veranstaltung “Artificial Intelligence in Engineering” bringt jedes Jahr eine Vielfalt von Anwendern aus den Ingenieurwissenschaften und verwandter Gebiete zusammen, um die neuesten AI-Trends in ihrer Berufs-Praxis vorzustellen. Das Event wurde dieses Jahr eröffnet durch die Keynote “Machine Learning in Engineering and Materials Science: On Your Marks, Get Set, … Go!?” von den MLE-Mitgliedern Christian Feiler, Fabian Lurz, Robert Meißner, Stefan Schulte, Christian Schuster und Gregor Vonbun-Feldbauer.

Das Institut für Hochfrequenztechnik (IHF) hat gemeinsam mit der FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg und Infineon Technologies AG einen neuen Ansatz des maschinellen Lernens vorgestellt, der mit einem hochintegrierten Radarsystem zuverlässig Personen erkennen und deren Aktivitäten klassifizieren kann.

A poster “An attempt to move from Software Defined Networks to Self-Driving Network using Recurrent Neural Network” has been accepted for the 14th International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies (CoNEXT 2018), will be held in December 4th - 7th in Heraklion/Crete, Greece.

A paper “Towards Prediction of Power Consumption of Virtual Machines for Varying Loads” has been accepted for The 28th International Telecommunication Networks and Application Conference (ITNAC 2018), will be held in November at the University of New South Wales Sydney, Australia, 2018.

We are glad to inform that we received the “Best scientific contribution award” for our paper on “Teaching Modelling and Analysis of Communication Networks using OMNeT++ Simulator” at the 5th OMNeT++ summit held in Italy, September 2018. The Simulation and Modelling of Communication Networks is a project based learning course offered at the computer science and electrical engineering master programs at TUHH. The following is the abstract of this paper. At the Hamburg University of Technology, Germany, the modelling of communication networks using the OMNeT++ simulator and the INET framework is taught for Master students. Teaching the concepts of simulation and modelling while letting the students obtain a hands-on experience during a 14-week (4h/week) period (single semester) is a challenging task. The diversity of the pre-knowledge of the participating students and the duration of the course are the main challenges that need to be addressed when organising such a course. This paper discusses the structure of this course and the best practices followed. The course adopts a methodology where lectures on concepts are mixed with INET based exercises that begin with simple topics and gradually moving into advanced topics.

Here is a short video about the first phase of EPIC students work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFifci7Ya_g The project proposals for the second phase will be available in Oct, 2018.

Our paper “Coexistence of Wireless Avionics Intra-Communication Networks” has been accepted for the 6th Annual IEEE International Conference on Wireless for Space and Extreme Environments (WISEE 2018), will be held in December 11 to 13, 2018 in Huntsville, AL, USA.

Torsten Runge (TUHH), Alexander Jung (Lancaster University) and Michał Król (UCL) (supervised by Bob Lantz) won 3rd place award at the ACM SIGCOMM 2018 Hackaton for their joint work on the project "Unikernel Support for Mininet". The project extends the network emulator tool Mininet to run unikernels on Mininet hosts. A unikernel is a light-weight, specialized operating system which uses only the most important components of an operating system to run a specific application. This new technology is emerging as an alternative to containers (e.g. Docker) because unikernels have a small footprint, boot extremely quickly and provide improved security. The ACM SIGCOMM 2018 Hackathon took place on Saturday, August 25, 2018 from 9 am to 8 pm at Nokia Skypark in Budapest, Hungary. It offers a unique opportunity for collaboration on the development of new ideas and software related to research topics presented in the SIGCOMM conference. The event brings together people with a variety of skills to encourage the combination of different types of expertise and inspire creativity. The Hackathon aims to encourage students, researchers, and engineers to gain experience through collaboration in contributing to open source software, transfer their research experience and expertise in open source development, and foster reproducibility of research results.

"Rare event analysis using the Limited Relative Error algorithm for OMNeT++ simulations" and “Teaching Modelling and Analysis of Communication Networks using OMNeT++ Simulator” for the OMNeT++ Community Summit: September 5th - 7th, 2018 in Pisa, Italy

We are happy to announce that the research project ReSA - Retrofitbare Sensorsystem-Architektur für prädiktive Instandhaltung - has been officially started on 1st of August 2018. During four years, we will work on reliable communication networks with a focus on predictive maintenance applications on board aircraft. The project ReSA is funded by LuFo, the Luftfahrtforschungsprogramm of the Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie, BMWi.

We are very glad to share this news as a partner of COLIBRI project. You will find the details of the project here.
