Cooperation Agreement
A joint research activity between Technische Universität Ilmenau and the
Fraunhofer Society
Closest collaboration between the different groups in terms of staff,
infrastructure and know-how
Transfer of results from fundamental research into application-oriented projects
With the appointment of Reiner Thomä in 1992 to University Professor,
the group Electronic Measurements (EMT) started at TU Ilmenau
In 2008, Prof. Heuberger founded the
Wireless Distribution Systems (DVT)
group, composed of a chair at TU Ilmenau
and a Fraunhofer project group.
In 2011, Prof. Heuberger left the TU Ilmenau
to become Director of Fraunhofer IIS.
In 2012 Prof. Del Galdo took his place.
In 2015 the project group became a
department.

History and Future
In 2016, the EMT and DVT groups merged
into the Electronic Measurements and Signal
Processing (EMS) group under the
cooperative leadership of Prof. Del Galdo
and Prof. Thomä.
In 2018 the two chairs at TU Ilmenau will be merged into one under the
leadership of Prof. Del Galdo. Prof. Thomä will retire from TU Ilmenau
but continue as chief scientist at Fraunhofer IIS.
