Biography

"Since the appointment to the chair for Communications Theory an appreciable development of education and research was achieved. A number of sophisticated research projects has been carried out. Based on this the chair’s technical equipment has reached an excellent level. The scientific staff members have extensive experiences for the solution of theoretical and practical communications problems.Thus good conditions exist for processing research projects in various fields of communications engineering, starting with algorithm and system design up to prototype development."

Adolf Finger received the Dipl.-Ing. degree (MSc) from Dresden University of Technology, (TUD), Germany, and the Dr.-Ing. degree (PhD) with summa cum laude from the same University, both in electrical engineering. He holds the positions of Professor in Communications Theory, Managing Director of the Communications Laboratory and until 2006 dean of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at TUD.

From 1995 until 2000 he was the leader of the Innovation Center "Communications Systems", supported by the German Research Council (DFG). This large project was focused on studies for future digital communication systems in the 60GHz frequency range in combination with fibre optics data transmission.

Professor Finger has contributions in the areas of digital radio communications, especially air interface and physical layer functions such as system design, error control coding and data security. In the past twenty years he has been exposed to Industry (Rohde & Schwarz GmbH, Japanese Asahi KASEI, Sony, Philips) and research centres (FTZ German Telekom, ACTS- and IST- program of European Commission, DFG, ESA/ESTEC).

His contributions in theory and practice include:

• Development of subsystems for wideband CDMA systems.
• Link adaptation techniques for multimedia services in wireless networks.
• Research on ultra wideband (UWB) communications system.
• Development of signal processing algorithms and circuits used for digital add-on data transmission via analog television channels by special spreading sequences.

Adolf Finger is author and co-author of some 60 technical papers in the areas of communications systems, coding techniques, wireless communications, signal and sequence design. He is author of two textbooks:

• Digitale Signalstrukturen, Verlag Technik Berlin/R. Oldenbourg München, Wien (1985)
• Pseudorandom Signalverarbeitung, Teubner Verlag Stuttgart (1997)

and co-author (with H.-J. Zepernick) of the book:

• Pseudo Random Signal Processing, Wiley 2005 and 2007 (China- Edition)

Professor Finger has also delivered invited presentations at IT- Conferences and Journals. He has served as a member on Technical Program Committees of international conferences (IEEE International Symposium on Spread Spectrum Techniques, IEEE Conference on Mobile and Wireless Communications Networks, IEEE International Conference on Networking, IASTED International Conference on Comm. Systems and Networks, IEEE Workshops on Positioning, Navigation and Communication).
