Ralf Martin Kramer

Prof. Ralf Martin Kramer is a Professor in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at Schmalkalden University of Applied Sciences, where he teaches Circuit Technology with a focus on Electronic Assemblies and Electronics Laboratory courses. His office is located in Building B, Room 0311.

Prof. Kramer's research centers on digital communications, specifically his development of Sigma Shift Keying (SSK), an innovative noise-modulated transmission technique. His work spans theoretical analysis, synchronization methods, detector optimization, and practical FPGA implementation of communication systems.

His publication record shows a consistent research trajectory from 2017-2020, culminating in his doctoral thesis on SSK. His research demonstrates a progression from theoretical foundations to practical implementation, reflecting an applied research approach typical of a University of Applied Sciences.

His notable achievements include:

• Best Paper Presentation at ICCCS'17
• Young Scientist Award: Best Paper from TU Delft at ICTRS2017

Prof. Kramer's work bridges theoretical communication theory with practical hardware implementation, making significant contributions to the field of digital modulation techniques. His research on SSK represents a novel approach to digital communications that challenges conventional paradigms while maintaining practical implementation feasibility.
