“Radar” is an acronym for “radio detection and ranging” or “radio direction and ranging”. Radar systems are used for a range of detection and positioning procedures and devices. They use electromagnetic waves in the radio frequency range (radio waves) to transmit data.
Fraunhofer IZM has many years of experience in researching and developing custom wireless sensor nodes, radar and proximity sensors, and wireless communication and high-performance computing (HPC) modules and in characterizing assembly and connection technologies and developing RF/high-speed, millimeter wave and terahertz packaging.
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…
Autonomous driving is getting better with every technological advance. But for driverless cars to become truly safe in traffic, they need a sensor system that recognises objects in the street – reliably and with no margin for error. Christian Tschoban…
