THz-InteGrated Electronic Radar

The aim of the project is to develop a sensor system in the field of radar technology with a bandwidth that extends into the THz range. It is intended to solve the disadvantages of the high sensor costs and the lack of reliability of previous optical THz technologies, which prevent the widespread use of these technologies. Integration into microchip technology is intended to create a robust and cost-effective fully electronic THz sensor for the first time. The wide bandwidth should make it possible to measure wall thicknesses in the mm range. This could be used, for example, in the production of plastic pipes with wall thicknesses of a few millimeters.
