General information
- Short Summary
- A German university has developed a new method for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of resonators and oscillators in real time. By using this technology, the devices can work more accurately and reliably and therefore deliver better results. The University is looking for cooperation partners, licensee and/or investors to further develop the new technology to series maturity.
- Full Description
-
Modern technology and in particular the fields of automation, robotics and navigation rely on the use of sensors and detectors to generate accurate and reliable measurements and signals. An important aspect of these devices is the signal-to-noise ratio, which is the ratio between the measured signal and the background noise.
A low signal-to-noise ratio can lead to malfunctions, inaccurate measurements or unexpected behaviour of systems using these sensors. However, many of the devices used are non-linear and therefore require complicated signal processing techniques to improve the signal-to-noise ratio.
Scientists at a German university have developed a new method for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of resonators and oscillators in real time. By using adaptive filtering techniques, the signal-to-noise ratio can be significantly improved in real time. This means that the filter is adapted to the input signal in real time to separate the desired signal from the interfering noise or distortion components.
By using this new technology, the devices can work more accurately and reliably and therefore deliver better results. This is particularly important in areas such as metrology (e.g. control and monitoring of resonators), navigation (e.g. sensors and actuators, robotics) or healthcare (e.g. sensors), where precise measurements are essential. - Advantages and Innovations

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
- For the market launch of this cutting-edge noise reduction and signal enhancement technology, leveraging the innovative silicon nitride membrane resonators, the university seeks industrial partners and licensees capable of manufacturing and deploying these advanced systems. Ideal collaborators are companies experienced in developing and constructing high-precision electronic components or those specializing in signal processing and noise reduction technologies. We envision partnerships with entities proficient in integrating advanced resonator components, optimizing signal clarity, and executing large-scale deployments of high-performance signal processing systems. Technology partners in the fields of communication systems, quantum computing, or precision instrumentation are particularly welcome to join us in revolutionizing these sectors.
