Wilhelm Bader (electrical engineer)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilhelm Bader (born August 1, 1900 in Landau an der Isar ; † July 18, 1984 ) was a pioneer of network synthesis .

Life

He did his military service as a war volunteer in the Freikorps (1918–1920) and in the Wehrmacht (1939–1941). From 1919 to 1923 he studied electrical engineering at the TH Munich . As a graduate engineer, he worked for the Siemens-Schuckert-Werke in Berlin from 1923 to 1927. From 1927 to 1931 he was an assistant at the technical measurement institute of the TH Munich.

In 1939 he took over the chair for theoretical electrical engineering at the TH Stuttgart as successor to Fritz Emde . He added the field of network theory to field theory and in particular the synthesis of electrical networks. The goal of network synthesis is to find an associated, realizable electrical network from given requirements with the help of mathematical processes.

With Erich Kamke , Ludwig Biermann , Karl Küpfmüller , Hans Piloty and Alwin Walther , he was a member of the DFG Commission for Computer Systems, which has existed since 1952. In 1955 he met Heinz Zemanek .

From 1955 to 1957 he was rector of the Technical University of Stuttgart. After his retirement in 1971, his institute was divided into two institutes from 1972: Günther Lehner took on field theory and Ernst Lüder took over the work in the field of electrical networks, expanded to include systems theory, in the newly founded Institute for Network and Systems Theory .

In 1972 he received the VDE Ring of Honor.
