EEEfCOM Innovation Award is a well-known German prize for innovative ideas in communications close to practical applications. It is offered by Gerotron Communication GmbH, with the help of other corporate sponsors, and attracts many submissions from German speaking countries. This year, two out of four awards went to groups from Ulm University.

A team from the Institute of Microwave Techniques, led by Peter Feil, was rewarded for their work on Millimeter-Wave Synthetic Aperture Radar for Surveillance and Security Applications. The fourth place was awarded to Bernd Schleicher of the Institute of Electron Devices and Circuits for his work on FM-IR-UWB – a simple Communications Concept, which describes how legacy FM short-range communication links can be easily converted to use the new impulse radio ultra-wideband frequency allocations in the GHz range, which can be used license free, yet are largely unused at present.
