from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Werner Julius Kleen (born October 29, 1907 in Hamburg ; † July 3, 1991 ) was a high-frequency technician .

Life

Werner Kleen studied physics in Hannover, Göttingen and at the Radiological Institute in Heidelberg Philipp Lenard and Ferdinand Schmidt (1889-1960), in which he in 1931 with the work over the passage of electricity through metal wires Hair Dr. phil. nat. doctorate and habilitation in 1936 . As second chairman of the Heidelberg student body, he appeared in January 1930 at the founding event of the Heidelberg National Socialist German Student Union . He resigned from this in 1932.

From 1931 to 1945 he developed electron tubes at Telefunken in Berlin and from 1940 was chief engineer for the development of receiver and small transmission tubes. During the Second World War he dealt with questions of microwave technology.

In 1946 he worked at the research center of the Compagnie Generale de Telegraphie sans Fil in Paris, researching and developing traveling wave tubes . As the leader of both national and international teams of scientists, Kleen made important contributions to the development of traveling wave tubes. He should also have been with the AEG. From 1959 to 1967 he was director of the research laboratory of Siemens AG and then director of the European Space Research and Technology Center in Noordwijk , Netherlands. He retired as a fully authorized director of Siemens & Halske AG. He also taught at Madrid University and Stockholm University of Technology.

He has written books on microwaves, electron tubes (with Horst Rothe ) and lasers .
