Brunswick Technical University – Institute for High-Frequency Technology

Brief outline

The research at the Institute for High-Frequency Technology deals with novel materials (III/V-, ceramic and organic semiconductors), components, circuits and measurement. Results of our research are aimed at future systems for communication and information.

Today the institute employs approximately 60 persons.

Core skills

Organic and inorganic semiconductors and their (opto-) electronic applications
Optical spectroscopy
Preparation and characterization of fluoride-glass materials
Development and simulation of microwave components and circuits
THz systems

Co-operation

The activities of the institute are funded by several public institutions like BMBF and DFG. Some projects are supported by the European Union and the VW-Stiftung. There also exist far reaching co-operations with several partners from industry.
