Projects
6.5 million euros for Terahertz Integration Centre (THz-IZ) 6G and ultra-modern radar systems
In order to be able to invest in new production facilities and equipment, the university will receive over 6.5 million euros from state and EU funds*. This will create a terahertz integration center (THz-IZ) that is unique in Germany.
Research Labs Microelectronics Germany ZHO receives 3.96 million euros in funding
The Microelectronics Research Laboratory for High-Frequency Beam Forming - ForLab SmartBeam - is being established at the University of Duisburg-Essen, funded by the BMBF.
SFB/TRR 196 – MARIE Mobile Material Characterization and Localization by Electromagnetic Sensing
More than 100 years ago, scientists invented the mobile camera to take pictures anywhere. More than 30 years ago, engineering scientists invented the cell phone to make phone calls at any location. Now it is time to invent Mobile Material Detector to determine MAteRIaliEn of any surface as well as inside an object at any place.
F2NET Structured fiber radio networks in buildings
Today's building networks consisting of a mix of passive copper cabling and radio stations are no longer up to date in view of increasing fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) connections and growing mobility. The goal is to establish fiber optics as a backbone for active fiber-radio networks in buildings. In this project, further development of passive structured cabling technology will exploit the advantages of fiber-coupled network nodes for radio stations and multimedia outlets. Novel components with higher functionality and reduced energy consumption make the technology marketable.
COST Action CA16220 European Network for High Performance Integrated Microwave Photonics
The goal of this COST Activity is to explore new optical technologies and photonically integrated chips (PIC) for future applications in radar, communications and space. Photonic integration should enable connectivities and capacities far beyond the limits of today's electronic systems.
Mercur research project 250 GHz photonic coherent sensor
The characterization of complex materials and moving objects in arbitrary environments is a key challenge for sensor technology (e.g. for 3D material maps). For such complex tasks, novel sensors have to be developed that can adaptively adjust waveform, frequency bandwidth, carrier frequency and observation sector to the measurement environment and material properties.
European Training Network Fiber-Wireless Integrated Networks for 5th Generation delivery
The European training network FiWIN5G aims to train a new generation of researchers to enable Europe to become a leader in the multidisciplinary field of wireless Internet access based on 5G and higher.
EU research project Radio technologies for 5G using Advanced Photonic Infrastructure for dense user environments
In RAPID, a centralized radio access network (C-RAN) architecture will be used that is capable of distributing heterogeneous radio signals (3G, 4G, 60 GHz) with high transmission channel capacity over the fiber optic network at low cost.
DFG research project Ultra-high-speed wireless communications for mobile Internet access (SPP 1655)
Within the above-mentioned DFG priority program SPP 1655, the subproject "Tera50" has been recommended for funding. A total of four working groups (DSV, HFT, NTS, and OE) at the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE), coordinated by Dr. Stöhr, are pursuing the goal of developing the basis for a modular, wireless measurement system that has a bandwidth of up to 50 GHz and operates at carrier frequencies in the range from 10 GHz to 1 THz.
