The Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, Leibniz-Institut für Höchstfrequenztechnik (FBH) is an application-oriented research institute in the fields of high-frequency electronics, photonics and quantum physics. It researches and realizes electronic and optical components, modules and systems based on compound semiconductors. These devices are key enablers that address the needs of today’s society in fields like communication, energy, health, and mobility.
The focus in the RF Power Lab is on applications with output powers in the range of 5...200 W in the microwave range up to 40 GHz. We work on novel concepts to increase efficiency in broadband modulated power amplifier systems for modern telecommunication and signals with high peak-to-average power ratios. In particular, we investigate dual-input amplifier systems based on load & supply-voltage modulation and how to use them in AI-controlled intelligent self-tunable systems. Integrated reconfigurable components and circuits are also in focus and more advanced integrated transceivers for radar and telecom. In addition, we develop novel autonomous RF measurement systems for improved RF power transistor characterization and the optimization of such devices based on machine learning.
