Curriculum Vitae
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Joachim Ender held the positions as director of the Fraunhofer-Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Technology FHR at Wachtberg, Germany, and as chair for High Frequency Sensors and Radar Techniques at the University of Siegen, Center for Sensor Systems ZESS until July 2016.
After his diploma in mathematics / physics he performed research on various topics of radar science since more than forty years. He started his carrier as young scientist in , 1976was appointed as head of department in 1999, and finally took over the function as the director of the FHR in 2003.
After his retirement he is still active as senior scientist at the FHR and as senior member and professor at the Center for Sensor Systems (ZESS) of the University Siegen.
Joachim Ender is author and co-author of numerous papers.
Among other prizes, he received from EURASIP the “Group Technical Achievement Award - For contributions to Array Signal Processing and Multichannel Synthetic Aperture Radar”.












Professional Expertise

Joachim Ender’s professional expertise encompasses statistical signal processing, estimation and detection theory, non Gaussian signal detection, array processing, performance bounds evaluation with application to radar techniques, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging algorithms with their extension to interferometric and bistatic SAR, inverse SAR (ISAR), ground moving target indication (GMTI) with space-time adaptive processing (STAP), jamming and de-jamming techniques for SAR, compressive sensing applied to radar, phased array architecture and technology, radar system design and analysis.
More

In 2014 he was named as an IEEE-fellow „for contributions to multi-channel synthetic aperture radar and radar array signal processing“.
He was one of the founder members of the “European Conference on Synthetic Aperture Radar” (EUSAR) which takes place every two years since 1996.
Joachim Ender created together with Prof. Holger Rauhut and Matthias Weiß the “International workshop on compressive sensing applied to radar” (CoSeRa) which started in April 2012 at Bonn, Germany.
In 2009 Joachim Ender founded together with Matthias Weiß the “International Summer School on Radar and SAR”., taking place each July at a nice location at the river Rhine.
