He recently retired form his 50 year tenure at San Diego State University. He holds over 35 patents on digital receiver and DSP technology and lectures throughout the world on DSP applications. He consults for organizations requiring high performance, cost effective DSP solutions. He has written over 250 journal and conference papers, the most well known being his 1978 paper “On the use of Windows for Harmonic Analysis with the Discrete Fourier Transform”. He is the author of the book Multirate Signal Processing for Communication Systems. He is also co-author of the book Software Radio Sampling Rate Selection, Design and Synchronization. In 1990 and 1991 he was the Technical and then the General Chair of the Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems, and Computers and was Technical Chair of the 2003 Software Defined Radio Conference and of the 2006 Wireless Personal Multimedia Conference. He became a Fellow of the IEEE in 2003, cited for contributions of DSP to communications systems. In 2006 he received the Software Defined Radio Forum’s “Industry Achievement Award”. His paper at the 2006 SDR conference was selected for the best paper award as was his paper at the 2010 Autotestcon conference and again his paper at the 2011 Wireless Personal Mobile Communications Conference and once again the 2011 SDR conference. He is the former Editorin-Chief of the Elsevier DSP Journal. The spelling of his name with all lower case letters is a source of distress for typists and spell checkers.
