Wulf-D. Wirth received his Dr.-Ing. degree in electrical engineering from the Technical University Berlin in 1962. He was the head of the Electronics Department of FGAN-FFM, the German defence research establishment, since it was founded until his recent retirement. He has published more than 50 papers with emphasis on radar signal processing and phased array radar and presented regularly at international radar conferences. He was a member of several NATO research studies and other international working groups and the radar-committee of DGON. He is now working as senior consultant at FGAN.
