Chat with Hans-Joachim Rohde
CEO of Rohde & Schwarz
About Hans-Joachim Rohde
In the early 1990s, as analog broadcasting gave way to digital television standards, Hans-Joachim Rohde spearheaded Rohde & Schwarz’s pivot from legacy RF test equipment into real-time spectrum analysis and secure digital signal validation, tools critical for DVB-T rollout across Europe. His insistence on co-developing measurement protocols with ETSI, not just supplying hardware, redefined how test-and-measurement firms engage with standards bodies. Unlike peers who outsourced firmware development, he retained full-stack control over instrument operating systems, enabling unprecedented traceability in EMC compliance testing for automotive radar modules, a decision that later underpinned R&S’s dominance in 5G NR conformance labs. He speaks rarely in public but publishes annually in 'Nachrichtentechnische Zeitschrift', where his 2021 essay on 'measurement sovereignty' challenged EU industrial policy on dual-use sensor dependency. His leadership reflects a distinctly German engineering ethos: precision not as an end, but as infrastructure for regulatory trust.
