Since its inception fifty years ago at the University of Erlangen, Germany, the Institute of Microwaves and Photonics (LHFT) has become a worldclass center for microwave research and scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Electrical engineering as applied to microwaves und millimeter waves<\/strong> through the Terahertz (THz)<\/strong> range and on up to photonics \/ laser systems<\/strong> are at the focus of teaching and research at LHFT. On the hardware and systems side, the academic staff at LHFT deal with the entire spectrum from component level<\/strong>, through submodules<\/strong> up to fully integrated systems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The research projects at LHFT are at the heart of many new developments and applications in the fields of medicine<\/strong>, transportation and traffic<\/strong>, residential systems<\/strong> and commercial enterprises<\/strong>. Imaging radar<\/strong>, broadband networks<\/strong>, wireless tracking systems<\/strong>, wireless sensors<\/strong>, RFID<\/strong> and photonics systems<\/strong> as developed at LHFT, are technologies we all come across in our daily lives. They are critical in medical diagnostics and therapies; they make the roads safer; they are used in smart materials and structures; they help navigate driverless vehicles; they are key to optimizing processes and to saving resources, time and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We want students to gain an insight into these key technologies and to acquire the skills needed to make best use of them. Working closely with partners in business<\/strong> and in other research institutions<\/strong>, we want to push on with stand-out fundamental research<\/strong> and exhilarating new products<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are very proud of our 1,000 first degree and master degree candidates; some 50 doctorate candidates; more than 750 publications; and over 100 patents. And, the institute has been honored with numerous national and international awards for its research activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Since its inception fifty years ago at the University of Erlangen, Germany, the Institute of Microwaves and Photonics (LHFT) has become a worldclass center for microwave research and scholarship.
