This site gives an overview of R&D radar projects participated by IMST. The following project list does not claim to be exhaustive. By participating in research projects, IMST is expanding its knowledge and skills in the development of innovative radar technologies. As a result from these R&D projects IMST achieves new techniques and systems in hardware, firmware and software. Demonstrators verify the success of the research activity. In addition, we are expanding our networks in science and industry. Many of these projects have also resulted in successful products.
Current R&D projects focus on area monitoring with intelligent systems and classification of radar targets using methods from artificial intelligence (AI) and neural networks (NN). IMST’s radar expertise includes standard and sophisticated antenna designs, radar chips from various vendors, micro-controllers for signal processing, radar control and different communication interfaces. Each module has its optimized firmware with specific radar functions and signal evaluation. Developer kits include our PC software SenToolTM, which is a graphical user interface for radar parameters settings and data visualization in different graphical plots.
