At this year's research grant award ceremony of the Styrian Chamber of Commerce our student Lukas Ebner was awarded for his master thesis "Wideband Dielectric Fiber Transition Design and Implementation" conducted at IHF.
This research project aimed at connecting a dielectric waveguide (Polymer Microwave Fibers) to a classic waveguide in an efficient and reflection-free manner. In order to accomplish this, three different transitions have been developed and manufactured which cover the frequency range 26.5 GHz to 90 GHz. In the long run those should enable the usage of dielectric waveguides in the fields of communication and sensor technology. The thesis was part of the project Photonics-Driven Sub-Millimeter Interconnect (PHIDELITI) together with Infineon Austria AG as our partner.
A short introduction of this topic is given in the video below.
We congratulate also all other winners from Graz University of technology and the other Styrian universities and colleges.

IEEE Wireless Power Technologies hosts the multipart vodcast "Wireless Watt: The Power Vodcast" covering wireless power transfer. In episode 2 Prof Jasmin Grosinger of IHF, Graz Univ. of Technology, and Prof. Nuno Carvalho, University of Aveiro, talk about "Power Over Metal: Unlocking NFC Charging Anywhere".
Prof. Michael Gadringer of IHF was interviewed by the daily newspaper "Die Presse" for an article with the title "Wie kommt das Bild in den Fernseher?" ("How doe the picture get into the TV-set"). The German article was published in the issue of March 29th, 2025.
The article is also available online, but has to be paid for.
