Autonomous driving counts as a core competence at Fraunhofer IZM. This includes sensor and actuator technology, power electronics, reliability management and assurance as well as robust design. There are numerous projects related to automotive driving. A group is working on electromagnetic compatibility for electric vehicles.
The institute is also working on the development of cost-effective packaging for radar sensors. For better visibility when driving at night you need an adaptive front lighting system. And the secret for miniature converters with high power density lies in low-inductance packages for fast-switching semiconductors.
The backbone of our digital world is made of glass: A network of optical fibers spans the globe and lets data criss-cross our globe. We also experience the digital world through a pane of glass: We interact with the online…
Better, faster and, above all, increasingly automated – this is the vision for many sectors of industry, from the automotive sector to energy suppliers. One solution that is becoming more and more popular is artificial intelligence. We spoke to Bernd…
A new era of mobile communication is about to begin: Transmitting a whole terabit of data, one thousand gigabits, per second. Dr. Ivan Ndip, specialist for antenna and high-frequency systems at the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZM in…
It’s an understatement to say that a lot has changed in microelectronics in the last fifty years – and the same goes for circuit boards. But even greater changes are afoot: with ever more data being used and shared, electrical…
