The modelling and optimization of antennas and RF transmitter/receiver components is one of Fraunhofer IZM’s key research areas, starting with the design, through modelling and simulation, to the metrological verification of the antennas. The efficient design and elegant integration of RF modules are crucial. This applies not only to wireless data transmission, but also to synchronization between mobile devices. The modules typically consist of embedded components, including antennas, filters, and switches whose performance and reliability depend on the substrate technology used.
Metamaterials are one of the promising technologies where researchers see great potential for the future evolution of next-generation radar and communication systems. Why might that be? The reason is simple: They can be produced and tailored specifically for certain application…
The 6th generation (6G) is the next step on the path to future mobile communications standards. The introduction of high-frequency bands such as the D-band (110 – 170 GHz) should enable even faster data transmission. However, using the subTHz range…
Welcome to our list of the IZM´s breakthrough technologies. In this post, you can learn about the four hallmark technologies in the field of microelectronics developed by Fraunhofer IZM that have the greatest potential or are already in widespread use…
