The Technical University of Munich is dedicating a lecture hall to Dr. Lothar Rohde, which will honor the pioneer of radio frequency engineering on the 100th anniversary of his birth. Not only was Dr. Rohde founder of Rohde & Schwarz together with Dr. Hermann Schwarz in Munich in 1933, but he was also the author of numerous patents and publications. His ideas initiated the development of Europe's first measurement instrument for radio frequency ceramics, the first quartz clock and the first fully automatic weather satellite receiving station.
For several decades, the electronics company has maintained close relations with the Technical University. There have been numerous joint development and research projects over the years and many candidates for master’s and doctoral degrees began their career at Rohde & Schwarz. In the last 15 months, the company has recruited more than 130 young engineers from various faculties in Munich alone, including many graduates of the Technical University of Munich.
The university also receives support from the foundation established by Dr. Lothar Rohde's widow, Sigrid, the aim of which is to support advanced education for natural science and engineering students. The foundation aims to support approximately five students every year by helping to fund their postgraduate studies or studies abroad.
