Team Over-the-Air Research and Testing

Focus

Performance analysis of communication and navigation systems

The Team Over the Air Research and Testing (TORTE) is devoted to the investigation and performance analysis of communication and navigation systems in the subject area of mobile satellite communication, mobile broadband communication, localisation and navigation (e.g. LTE, 5G and GNSS).

Emulation of test environments

Virtual electromagnetic test environments are developed and improved regarding hardware and software (e. g. using wavefield synthesis, wireless cable and conducted tests) to enable research of communication and navigation systems.

Facility for Over-the-Air Research and Testing (FORTE)

At our testing facility Facility for Over-the-Air Research (FORTE), electromagnetic wave fields are emulated and tests conducted in a verifiable environment. The facility hosts the three research platforms SatCom, 5G-mmWave and MIMO-OTA.
