Metrology for THz Communication

The project focuses on the investigation of measurement systems and procedures required for THz communication systems.

Metrology for THz Communication (METERACOM) is a research project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), which deals with the development and verification of measurement systems and methods in the field of THz communication. The consortium consists of the Universities of Braunschweig, Illmenau, Paderborn, Marburg, Lübeck and Stuttgart as well as the PTB Berlin/Braunschweig and its London counterpart NPL. The project is divided in four main project areas, which in turn are divided into several sub-projects.

The Institute for Computer Engineering is involved in two sub-projects within Meteracom:

• C1 : Device Discovery and Tracing (in collaboration with IfN, Department of Mobile Radio Systems, IDA, Department of Communication networks)
• C2 : Parallele THz-Transmission (in Zusammenarbeit mit IfN, Department of Mobile Radio Systems, IDA, Department of Communication networks)

ITI will rely on its expertise in hardware design and acceleration to contribute to sub-projects C1 and C2 with high-performance accelerators.

This project is funded by the German Research Foundation, project no. 403579441
