Richard Feldtkeller
Richard Feldtkeller (born January 26, 1901 in Merseburg , † December 5, 1981 in Stuttgart ) was a German physicist and electrical engineer. He has appeared through numerous scientific work on topics of communications engineering , such as four-pole theory , filter circuit technology , transmission technology , radio technology and broadcast technology , electroacoustics and optics and has been awarded numerous medals, honorary doctorates and honorary memberships. Some of his books became standard works in communications engineering.
Professional background
In 1924 Richard Feldtkeller completed his studies in physics at the University of Halle with a doctorate (on the subject of interference currents in quantitative measurements with the high-frequency amplifier ) and began his work at the Siemens research laboratory in Berlin . His area of responsibility included basic research in telephony technology and the still new wireless communications and transmission technology. In 1936, Feldtkeller accepted an appointment at the Technical University of Stuttgart . Here he taught and researched until 1966 as a full professor and director of the Institute for Electrical Telecommunications. During this time, he supervised around 60 dissertations, and many of his doctoral students later also took over chairs at universities. Since 1962 he was a full member of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences .
One of Feldtkeller's students was the computer pioneer Heinz Zemanek , who, under Feldtkeller's supervision, wrote the diploma thesis on the generation of short pulses from a sinusoidal oscillation in 1943/44 .
