We apply our core competences in the field of information and communication technologies and of vision systems. 15 years of experience in IC design, board and system level design and very skilled experts for prototype implementation are an excellent prerequisite for project work. We publish our results in scientific journals, present latest developments at conferences and show demonstrators at fairs and exhibitions in order to draw international attention. In case of inventions we apply for national and international patents and license our intellectual property rights to everyone. At the Fraunhofer IIS-A engineers and scientists develop microelectronic systems and equipment including the required ICs.
Applications are in telecommunications, information technology and automation.
We develop wireless communication systems with emphasis on digital broadcasting systems. Audio and video coding techniques being developed at the institute have reached international recognition due to adoption as an international standard. Image acquisition and pattern recognition technology are key elements in automated quality assurance. In our current research we exploit ultra fine focus X-ray computer tomography as well as high speed cameras. Our Dresden branch focuses on the development of tools for the automated IC and system design.
