µRase - MEMS space sensing radar sensor technology

Space sensing sensor technology plays a crucial role in the design and implementation of autonomous systems. Advanced sensor technology enables autonomous systems to detect other objects, assign velocities and distances, and provide reaction recommendations to the systems' control unit in case of danger to themselves or neighboring objects. The combination of THz radar system, innovative assembly, interconnection and MEMS technology, and silicon-ceramic composite technology can overcome previous limitations.
The goal of the project is to combine and establish individual technology modules of the project partners into a superior radar module with high cost efficiency and high imaging resolution. This project will be realized by combining modular subsystems:

  • pivoting MEMS structures for THz antennas on SiCer substrates
  • radar concepts and signal processing
  • design and construction of ultra-high frequency systems
