Fraunhofer FHR presents the latest development in the field of highly integrated radar technology: the µRadas demonstrator. This is a resource- and energy-efficient, microcontroller-based radar sensor with integrated signal processing. With this real-time signal processing for highly accurate distance measurements at measurement rates of up to 4 kHz, it demonstrates the application readiness of highly integrated radar sensors for industrial process monitoring and quality assurance.

The Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques FHR will showcase a new development for autonomous driving at the European Microwave Week 2025 (EuMW) in Utrecht, Netherlands. With SCaRL, the institute presents a comprehensive synthetic dataset that synchronized radar, LiDAR, and camera information with unprecedented precision. The goal is to significantly enhance the robustness of perception systems and advance research in sensor fusion and radar signal processing.

The Fraunhofer Institutes for Reliability and Microintegration (IZM) and for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques (FHR) are joining forces with NGK INSULATORS, LTD. from Japan to develop innovative material solutions for the communication technologies of tomorrow. At the center of the collaboration is a novel, ultra-low-loss material system that enables the highest level of manufacturing precision. This approach paves the way for miniaturized yet powerful Sub-Terahertz components that will drive 6G Communication- and Radar applications.

Under the motto “Bridging Science and Industry,” the Terahertz Sensor Technology Center – a joint initiative of the Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems IMS and the Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques FHR – will host a high-profile workshop in Duisburg on December 1–2, 2025. The event will focus on current developments in terahertz sensing and photonic integrated circuits (PIC).
