POLYWISE

Polymer dielectric waveguides for high-frequency sensing and signal transmission

Initial Situation

The increasing demands on data rates, measurement resolution, and system integration are pushing sensor and communication systems into the frequency range of several hundred gigahertz. At these frequencies, metallic transmission lines and waveguides encounter physical, economic, and ecological limitations: high losses, rising costs, and limited sustainability restrict their long-term viability.

Innovative Solution

POLYWISE is developing dielectric waveguides made of polymers as a high-performance, cost-efficient, and sustainable alternative to metal-based transmission solutions. Through new polymer compositions and tailored manufacturing strategies, metal-free waveguides are being created with excellent high-frequency performance, low weight, and outstanding recyclability.
