The Department of System Design & Integration researches methods and tools for the targeted, technology-oriented design of electronic systems. By simulating thermal and mechanical coupling and electrical, magnetic, electromagnetic phenomena at stages of the development process, we can compare the functionality and capacity of different technologies as early as during the concept design phase. Our services include functionality, volume, reliability and cost analyses, which can all be carried out at the earliest stages of the design process.

Using new methods and tools, we develop technology demonstrators and prototypes for electronic assemblies and embedded systems. The most important application areas are:

• Microelectronics and microsystem technology
• RF and high-speed system design
• Power electronic systems
