Dr. Andreas Antoniou - 2011 UVic Legacy Award for Research
Electrical engineer and Professor Emeritus Andreas Antoniou literally wrote the book on digital filters in 1979 and it made a major impact the world over, both in academia and industry.
Antoniou, born in Cyprus, invented the "Antoniou Gyrator." The gyrator, built in microcircuit form long before the microcomputer chip, was used extensively in North American and UK telephone systems. Antoniou's groundbreaking work in digital signal processing paved the way in enabling the miniaturization of electronic circuits that are central to modern communication systems.
The ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø honoured Dr. Antoniou with the 2011 Legacy Award for Research.
