Aren't seeing, hearing, smelling, and tasting enough? The answer is definitely a clear no! Many of us will probably still remember the old school experiment: one hand immersed in cold water, the other one in warm water - human senses are rather qualitative and subjective.

Technology makes these senses objective and quantifiable. Regarding technology as an aid and a supplement to human senses means giving technology a human component. Nothing within the field of electrical engineering comes closer to this than sensor technology. If the active components, the so-called actuators, are taken into account as well, many possibilities of supporting human life become available.

This also applies to working life, where the degree of automation has continuously increased in recent years. On the one hand, this facilitates are meaning an increase of value-added goods produced, on the other hand it means a relief from monotonous physical labour and an improvement of quality of life.

With home automation, it is just the other way round: Here, a direct improvement of quality of life is intended, e.g. by increasing the comfort of people's homes. Another, by no means less important, side-effect of a reasonable automated control will be a more efficient use of resources.

To meet these challenges, we offer not only wireless solutions for the networking and the transmission of sensor data, but also the development of special sensors from the microwave range, i.e. radar-based sensors (Doppler sensors, FMCW radar, impulse radar, automotive cruise control, etc.).
