CeBIT Bilişim Eurasia 2014

Fraunhofer IIS projects are ranging from concept studies and implementation of high-frequency systems right up to product development. Developments relating to high-frequency and microwave technology are used in wireless, embedded communication, navigation and in digital broadcasting systems. Some of our applications are real-time broadband receivers for validation of field tests, test and measuring devices, modulators and monitoring devices for transmitters and content servers for multimedia applications.

GNSSA - High-Precision Navigation Antenna

Amongst Fraunhofer IIS technologies, the GNSSA, is an active antenna, which can receive signals from all existing global navigation satellite systems (incl. future systems using the L-band). The design consists of a broadband matched, electrically small radiating element with parasitic elements around it. It can process satellite signals even at low elevation angles without any problems due to the optimal shape of the radiation pattern in terms of beamwidth in elevation, omnidirectionality in azimuth and good multipath rejection.

Radio location and communication has been a key area of expertise at Fraunhofer IIS for more than 20 years. The BlackFIR® technology by Fraunhofer IIS establishes transparent processes by providing continuous live information on the whereabouts of people and objects in defined areas. We provide a technology platform for applications like Industry 4.0, logistics, automotive, security, health, sports, information and entertainment. As a competence center for tracking technology we are the development partner for real time, accurate, reliable and seamless positioning systems.

POLKA - Compact Polarization Camera

POLKa is created to "uncover the Invisible". POLKA is an innovative camera for pixel-wise detection and measurement of the polarization state of light. Though being compact and rugged, POLKA is an artefact-free, cost-effective and easy- to-calibrate solution whenever the polarization information of light is to be analyzed. Some application examples are; optical measurement, surface inspection, mechanical stress measurement, industrial imaging (machine control, machine vision, optimization of manufacturing processes), material discrimination and analysis.

EagleCam - Highly Integrated Embedded Camera System

Developed originally as a customized application for a nature film, the camera provides natural images of highest quality under extreme conditions like mechanical stress, different weather situations or changing light. With its robust, lightweight and ergonomic design, the camera is able to take natural pictures from the back of an eagle with stunning image quality. Working on an easy-to-use android operating system, the interchangeable mini camera head also provides the necessary flexibility.
