Measuring equipment

Radar systems that range in size from a matchbox to a small van are developed, constructed and tested at Fraunhofer FHR. To this end, the institute has a wide range of measuring instruments and facilities.

• Four anechoic antenna and RCS measurement chambers from UHF to 400 GHz
• Linear and spherical near-field scanners
• HF measurement technology from UHF to 2 THz, CW and pulsed, S-parameters, spectrum and phase noise
• High-load rotary disc unit (up to 30 t, measurable angle of depression 0-13°, measuring distance 138 m, 16-bit angle encoder)
• Cooling and heating chambers (-40 to +180°C)
• Vibration measurement unit
• Open space measurements with reference markers up to 600 m
• Rail-based precision measurement systems
• dielectric material parameter measurement of plastic materials and coating layers from 100 MHz to 95 GHz (see also: www.emtools.fraunhofer.de)
