Mission and Goals
Obtaining information is a fundamental task in our information society. Electromagnetic sensors and measuring systems are becoming increasingly important in information gathering for the precise and reliable determination of a wide variety of measured variables. The areas of application are diverse and include areas such as medicine, security technology, electromagnetic compatibility, earth research, communication, robotics and transport. Sensors and measuring systems must be designed and implemented in such a way that they meet the special requirements of the various areas of application and contribute to optimal system behavior. In order to achieve this goal, experts from sensor technology, measurement technology, electromagnetic field theory and from specific application areas such as medicine, biology, environmental technology or mechanical engineering come together under the umbrella of the research area Electromagnetic Sensors and Measurement Systems. Expertise on the topics of sensor technology, electromagnetic field theory, medical electronics, biology, signal processing, microwave technology, radar and navigation is bundled here and contributes to the realization of the electromagnetic sensors and measuring systems of the future through fundamental as well as application-oriented research.
