In our laboratory, we develop innovative solutions for radio communication, including satellite and terrestrial communication. We implement our signal processing algorithms using Software Defined Radio (SDR) and have the possibility to verify the developments on the target hardware with our self-developed fast simulation software. This enables the cost-effective development of demonstrators and prototypes, such as modems, signal analysers, monopulse tracking receivers and much more.
Our numerous experiments and studies in the field of electromagnetic wave propagation serve to optimise the use of radio transmission channels. Our measurements are always close to reality, test transmitters are carried by helicopters or aeroplanes, and relevant experiment locations are selected throughout Europe.
The laboratory equipment includes:
DIGITAL has a hearing laboratory equipped to international standards (ITU-R BS 1116-1).
In our AI Lab, we provide human and computational resources for research and development of state-of-the-art AI (neural network) models.
We carry out experiments in optical metrology, optical spectroscopy and machine vision.
High-precision 3D measurement systems enable the research and implementation of innovative solutions for the automated creation of digital twins.
For innovative satellite communications, our infrastructure includes antennas in the Q/V band (40/50 GHz) and W band (71-76 GHz).
The laboratory combines state-of-the-art measurement technology with intelligent analysis software for prototype development and human factors and ergonomics studies.
The IoT Innovation Space is both a physical and virtual space to help you achieve digital transformation with design thinking, IoT and AI.
