The department of RF & Smart Sensor Systems at Fraunhofer IZM focuses on research and development of application-specific wireless sensor nodes, radar and proximity sensor systems as well as wireless communication and high-performance computing (HPC) modules for a wide range of application fields.
The focus is on 5G and 6G communication systems, radar sensor technology and wireless sensor nodes. From sensors in moving textiles like sails to sensors that measure environmental factors impacting diseases – Fraunhofer IZM is working on a vast variety.
The gastrointestinal tract is of great importance to our health and wellbeing, but many patients are wary about the endoscopic exams that they often associate with considerable discomfort. And indeed, in many cases, the current methods require general anesthesia and…
Mental health is an issue that is increasingly on the radar for many people, including people suffering from epilepsy, for whom many everyday situations can bring completely new challenges. Researchers believe that aid may come in the form of e-textiles….
RealIZM blog series: “Insights from iCampµs Cottbus” – Part 1 Getting sensor data and being able to process it in real time for control, maintenance, and servicing purposes is increasingly important for Industry 4.0 applications. As part of the BMBF-funded…
The future of microelectronics faces exciting developments and important trends. But how will this technological sector develop in the coming years? Which application areas will significantly drive 2.5D/3D hetero-integration and high-end performance packaging, and where are the limits of what…
Finding a way to make the production of thermal infrared sensors cheaper would open up numerous new possibilities for thermal imaging systems e.g. for automotive and security applications. This is why Fraunhofer IZM researchers have been working on wafer-level packaging…
Most people can tell you what automotive mechatronics technicians – or more prosaically: car mechanics – or the service staff in a restaurant do. But many professions that play an essential role in research and even our everyday lives are…
The four Fraunhofer institutes – Fraunhofer FOKUS, Fraunhofer HHI, Fraunhofer IPK, and Fraunhofer IZM – have been cooperating under the umbrella of the Berlin Center for Digital Transformation since 2017, pooling their expertise in the fields of information and communication…
At the beginning of March, the ministry invited the project partners to the online conference “Green ICT 2023 – Sustainable Information and Communication Technologies”. In the run-up to this conference, RealIZM spoke with Dr. phil. Lutz Stobbe, head of the…
Creating the best radar systems in the world for the application in question is an ambitious undertaking, But Dr. Christian Tschoban and Paul Perlwitz from Fraunhofer IZM are working on nothing short of that goal: The two scientists have developed…
A 50,000 square meter artificial reef off the Baltic coast and a green space following the trajectory of the Berlin Wall: Two places, about 240 km apart from each other and as different as could be. However, only a few…
