As part of its large-equipment initiative, the German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding new measuring systems for ultra-high data rates for future communication technologies. An innovative and versatile measuring platform at the University of Stuttgart that combines broadband time and frequency domain measurements is among the successful applications. The system is intended to be used to research new technologies that are needed to achieve the ultra-high data rates required for increasing digitalization. Autonomous driving, Industry 4.0, and the new 5G mobile communications system are just a few of the current buzzwords that describe the increasing digitalization of our living environment. They are accompanied by an unbroken trend toward ever higher data rates on all communication channels. This applies to both the core networks based on fiber optics and the mobile telephony networks, as well as directly to the final mile, the connection of households and businesses to the Internet. In order to serve the growing hunger for data in society and at the same time keep the demand for energy as well as communication costs in check, new ways and technologies have to be researched.
