Gerhard Fischerauer was born in Munich, Germany, in 1963. He received the Dipl.- Ing. and the Dr.-Ing. degrees from the Technical University of Munich, Germany, in 1989 and 1996, respectively. From 1990 to 1998 he was with the microacoustics group of the Siemens Corporate Technology, Munich, Germany, where he worked on low-loss surface acoustic wave (SAW) RF filters for mobile communications, on SAW chemical sensors, and on SAW sensors for harsh environments. In 1998, he joined EPCOS (then Siemens Matsushita) as responsible manager for the development of SAW IF and RF filters for third-generation mobile phone systems. He then went on to head the department of SAW Basics and System Concepts, dealing with such issues as novel filter technologies and optimization of physical device properties. In 2001, Dr. Fischerauer joined the University of Bayreuth as Chair of Measurement and Control Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering Science. He has authored or coauthored more than 45 publications in the fields of RF engineering and SAW technology.
