future, the foil could replace the dark-blue absorber pyramids that line the “EMC test room.” EMC stands for electromagne- tic compatibility and is one of the research and development fields in which the uni- versity produces top talent. HfTL offers state-of-the-art, practice-oriented techno- logy education in its ICT and business in- formation systems courses. The university also provides an excellent study environ- ment, with one teacher for every ten students and optimal equipment. This is reflected in the low rate of premature lea- vers from cooperative degree courses, which currently lies at below five percent. Professor Schlayer comments: “Beside our cooperative courses, students can also opt for full-time or part-time courses to conti- nue their education.” Since the Bologna university reform, HfTL’s Master graduates fulfill the requirements for taking a doctoral degree. “Mobile communications in hospitals, WLAN applications, RFID and in-car tech- nology – wherever applications involve high frequencies in excess of 1 gigahertz, our foil acts as the perfect screen or rather, the perfect absorber.” Professor Detlef Schlayer, Vice President of Deutsche Telekom’s University of Applied Sciences in Leipzig (HfTL), gives a vivid description of the possibilities offered by a new syn- thetic foil that HfTL has developed in con- junction with partners in industry.
