The Institute of Communications and Navigation develops and investigates new systems and methods for radio transmission and positioning. These are widely used in broadcasting multimedia contents as well as for internet connection of satellite, airplane and remote areas. In the field of high rate data communication between satellite and ground the Instituts works on optical free-space transmission methods.
In satellite navigation the Institute puts emphasis on safety-critical applications, which require a reliable positioning and timing information, and on poistioning in urban canyons and indoors. The activities of the Institute span from theoretical investigations to the experimental verfication of components and systems. Its results play a major role in aeronautical applications and ground-based traffic.
