Education and career

After receiving his Abitur in Munich, Rohde studied electrical engineering at the Technische Hochschule München and the Technische Hochschule Darmstadt. In 1978, he received a doctorate in radio-frequency engineering and joined the Epsilon Sigma chapter of the Eta Kappa Nu society; [1] [2] he then completed an executive business administration programme at Columbia University in 1980. [2] He received his Dr.-Ing. degree (doctorate in engineering) from the Technical University of Berlin in 2004, and his habilitation from the Brandenburg University of Technology in 2011. [1] [3]

Since 1973, Rohde has been a partner of Rohde & Schwarz in Munich, his father's company. From 1974 to 1982, he headed the US branch of Rohde & Schwarz; after that, he was managing director of an RCA defence subsidiary. [1] [3]

In 1977, Rohde was appointed as a professor at the University of Florida, and in 1982 at the George Washington University as an adjunct professor, of electrical engineering. [3] [2]

Rohde's professional interests include computer-aided design of microwave components, low-noise microwave oscillators and amplifiers as well as active antennas. In these fields, he founded several companies and holds about 50 patents. [3]

Awards

Rohde has been granted honorary doctorates by the Romanian universities of Oradea and Cluj-Napoca in 1997. [2] In 2002, Rohde has been chosen as a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for "contributions to and leadership in the development and industrial implementation of microwave computer-aided design technology." [4] He was appointed honorary senator by the Bundeswehr University Munich in 2008 and by the Brandenburg University of Technology in 2011. [2] In 2021, he was awarded the Cross of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. [5]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Bundeswehr University Munich</span> German university

University of the Bundeswehr Munich is one of two research universities in Germany at federal level that both were founded in 1973 as part of the German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr). Originally called Hochschule der Bundeswehr München the institution was supposed to offer civilian academic education for military officers. As an uncommon feature amongst German universities University of the Bundeswehr Munich unifies a more theoretical research university division and a more practical-oriented College of Applied Sciences branch. Today, the university has an increasing number of civilian and international students. The academic year at the university is structured in "trimesters" and not the usual semester, to offer intensive studies with more credit points per year. Very capable students can therefore achieve a bachelor's and a master's degree within less than four years, while this would usually require five years. University of the Bundeswehr Munich has well-established scientific research and forms part of two excellence clusters of the German government's university excellence initiative. The University of the Bundeswehr Munich is one of only very few campus universities in Germany.
