Microwave Department

The microwave department researches technologies and tools, required for the development of microwave circuits and modules an provides them to the business areas. In line with the general mission of the institute, the focus is on III-V semiconductor technologies (GaAs, GaN) and power applications but this does not imply a restriction.

The activities within the department comprise the following 4 main topics:

One of the most widely used algorithms for em simulation is the "Finite Difference" (FD) method, where the Maxwellian equations are discretized on rectangular cells. We offer optimized solutions tailored to the customer's needs and provide in-depth understanding of the phenomena present.

Circuits are designed and characterized in collaboration with external partners or as contract work.

For characterization of devices and circuits as well as for model verification, the FBH relies on high-level measurement equipment and a dedicated group.

Beyond characterization, the devices can be packaged in-house. The FBH activities comprise flip-chip and backside mounting, housing and board fabrication.
