\n The Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques FHR in Wachtberg near Bonn is one of the leading radar research institutes in Europe with one of the . Our scientists investigate concepts, methods and systems for electromagnetic sensors, especially in the field of radar technology and radiometry. The institute is excellently networked within the international research community and works on numerous multinational research projects with academic and industrial partners. Join us!

Our business unit "Multifunctional Radio Frequency and Radar Systems" (MFR) has four departments which cover the research and implementation of modern radio frequency sensors for military radar, detection and communication applications. The "Cognitive Methods" department deals with research topics at the interface between information processing and high-frequency sensor technology. It develops machine learning methods as well as artificial intelligence methods for the optimal adaptation of a radar or radio frequency system to the environment and a largely autonomous operation. In this context, it is of great importance to evaluate our applications and approaches with experimental demonstrators.
