The FEDORA project aims at biomedical applications using millimeter waves. I am happy to continue the fruitful collaboration with Dr. S. Chamaani (K. N. Toosi University of Technology, Iran) Grant number: 464551671 (Initiation of International Collaboration Programme)Read More
So far, around 30,000 wind turbines (WT) have been installed in Germany, and the trend is still rising. To protect bats and birds, operators must in many cases implement shutdown algorithms to reduce mortality. Risks are posed by a possible collision with the rotor blades or, especially in the case of bats, due to barotrauma...Read More
The next European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2021) will take place online from 22 to 26 March 2021. All papers will be published in IEEE Xplore. Six papers have been accepted for publication in this conference after peer review.Read More
A joint work between the University of Bologna (Luca De Marchi, Nicola Testoni and Federica Zonzini) and Goethe University Frankfurt (Chris Kexel and me) was accepted for publication in IEEE Access. Abstract: This paper demonstrates the use of guided elastic waves (GEW) for multiple-in and multiple-out (MIMO) data communication in the framework of a structural...Read More
We have had an amazing automatic detection with our camera systems installed at the wind met mast in Flachau (cooperation with Windsfeld GmbH, Austria). Two of our fish eye cameras measured meteors as shown on the videos below.
