Institut für Angewandte Funksystemtechnik (IAF GmbH)

Institut für Angewandte Funksystemtechnik (IAF GmbH) is a privately held German engineering company headquartered in Braunschweig. Founded in 1992, IAF specialises in the development, implementation and verification of custom electronic assemblies, with a particular focus on FPGA-based hardware and software solutions. The company positions itself as a specialist rather than a generalist, stating that it prefers to master one technology perfectly instead of offering a broad spectrum with little depth. Its work spans the entire development chain: concept creation, hardware development, programming, prototype and series production, commissioning and testing. IAF's technical focus is on digital transmission methods for high data rates over wireless, wired and optical media. The company works on applications in mobile communication and digital broadcasting, and it has been involved in research and development projects that keep it at the leading edge of technology. Its expertise flows directly into customer-specific development contracts. The firm also develops its own products, such as the SDR6004, a broadband 8-channel SDR transceiver with an integrated RF front end up to 6 GHz. IAF serves industrial customers as well as universities and research institutions. It collaborates with partners including KMDC Kojucharow Microwave Development and Components, powerBridge, Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences, the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute, Technische Universität Braunschweig, Siemens, Universität Duisburg-Essen, the FED electronics design association, Kraus Hardware, Knowledge Resources and OpenAirInterface. The company is based at Berliner Straße 52 j in Braunschweig and operates primarily in Germany and Europe. It remains a private company and is not listed on a stock exchange.

Institut für Angewandte Funksystemtechnik (IAF GmbH) was founded in 1992 in Braunschweig, Germany. From the beginning, the company focused on applied research and development in radio systems technology. Its early work included the development of a DVB-T modulator for terrestrial digital television and the construction of OFDM experimental systems for Wireless LAN and 3G-LTE mobile communications. These projects exemplify the company's involvement in digital transmission methods for high data rates over wireless, wired and optical media. Over the years, IAF has built a team of specialists for the development of customer-specific electronic assemblies. The company's services cover concept creation, hardware development, programming, prototype and series production, commissioning and testing. IAF states that it has successfully completed numerous projects since its founding. Its participation in current research and development projects keeps it at the state of the art, and this know-how flows directly into contract developments for customers. IAF has specialised in the development of FPGA-based assemblies. The dynamic development in the FPGA field, including increases in performance, integration density and efficiency, led to the "Systems on Chip" (SoC) architecture. With current FPGA and SoC components, almost all applications of digital communication technology, industrial electronics, image processing and other fields can be realised. IAF advises customers on whether an FPGA solution is optimal for each project. The company has established long-term partnerships with industrial and academic organisations. Partners listed on its website include KMDC Kojucharow Microwave Development and Components, powerBridge, Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences, the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute, Technische Universität Braunschweig, Siemens, Braunschweig Zukunft (municipal economic development), Universität Duisburg-Essen's Institute of Digital Signal Processing, the FED electronics design association, Kraus Hardware, Knowledge Resources and OpenAirInterface. IAF works with both industrial partners and universities and research institutions, jointly turning research results into high-performance experimental systems and production-ready products. IAF remains a private company headquartered at Berliner Straße 52 j in Braunschweig. It continues to operate in the fields of mobile communication and digital broadcasting, offering development, implementation and verification services. Its product portfolio includes the SDR6004, a broadband 8-channel SDR transceiver with an integrated RF front end up to 6 GHz.
