The funding will allow the Chair of Microwaves and Photonics (LFHT) and the Chair of Electronics Engineering (LTE) at FAU to develop a unique measuring system for fundamental research into future mobile communications and wireless technologies for extremely high data rates.
‘We will implement a measuring platform with outstandingly low noise for use in researching millimetre-waves and terahertz communication systems concepts of the future, which are considerably more powerful than existing devices in terms of their bandwidth and sensitivity.
This ensures ground-breaking precision of analysis for research into methods for designing innovative system concepts,’ explains project coordinator Prof. Dr. Martin Vossiek from LFHT.
‘The fact that our proposal has been approved reflects the appreciation of the joint research being conducted by our Chairs in the area of high-speed communication,’ adds Prof. Dr. Dr. Robert Weigel.
With the major instrumentation programme, the DFG specifically funds complex major instrumentation and devices based on outstanding or innovative technology for use in research.
It is hoped that making technology available early on will have a positive and tangible effect on the relevant fields of research.
