ABOUT THE MEETING:
Today’s wireless users expect high-performance mobile broadband to be widely available, but even 3G systems can be frustratingly slow during peak usage times. Most mobile wireless carriers have turned to Long Term Evolution (LTE) as the answer to these demands. With its clever use of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), LTE offers flexible occupied bandwidth, very high data rates, low latency, and the ability to operate in both paired and unpaired frequency sets. Dr. Bob Morrow will present a technical comparison of 3G and 4G wireless so you can see for yourselves what the LTE “hype” is all about.
ABOUT THE PRESENTER:
Bob Morrow received a Bachelor of Science degree from the United States Air Force Academy, a Master of Science degree from Stanford University, and a Ph.D. from Purdue University, all in electrical engineering. Bob taught undergraduate engineering and was the Director of Research at the U. S. Air Force Academy, and he was Deputy Head of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the Air Force Institute of Technology, where he taught graduate engineering courses. He also earned instructor pilot ratings in three military aircraft before retiring from the Air Force. Dr. Morrow has published over two-dozen technical articles, holds a United States patent, and is an Advanced Class Amateur Radio operator. Bob authored the books Bluetooth Operation and Use and Wireless Network Coexistence for McGraw-Hill, and is a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He presently consults and teaches short courses in wireless networks

Edward W. Herold: A Leader in the Development of Color Television
Sixty years ago this month, the proceedings of the institute of radio engineers (IRE) included a paper by Edward W. Herold (Fig. 1) on an application of negative resistance in vacuum-tube circuits. At the time, he was a research engineer at the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), where he worked for approximately 36 years. He received the IEEE Founder’s Medal in 1976 as recognition for his outstanding contributions to the electrical engineering profession, including his leadership in the development of the shadow-mask 
picture tube for color television.
Herold was born in New York City in 1907, and developed an early interest in amateur radio. He worked as a technical assistant in the Engineering Department of the Western Electric Company in 1924-1925, and at the Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1925-1926. Early in 1927, he became a vacuum-tube tester at the E. T. Cunningham Company, known for the high quality of its electronic tubes, and he continued to work there during summer vacations as an undergraduate. He received the degree in physics from the University of Virginia in 1930 and the M.S. degree from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn in 1942.
Herold joined an advanced development group at the Radiotron subsidiary of RCA in July 1930, where his group was responsible for the development of new types of vacuum tubes suitable for radio applications. One of his first projects was an investigation of secondary emission in screen-grid tubes (tetrodes), and his first patent application, filed in 1932, concerned a method to suppress secondary emission (Fig. 2). This invention was utilized in the Type 48 power tetrode, and the related research was reported in his first IRE paper, published in the October 1935 proceedings, on the subject of “negative resistance and devices for obtaining it.” During the 1930’s, he also contributed to improvements and applications of pentode power amplifiers and the pentagrid converter tube. He also worked on wide-band amplifiers suitable for television receivers and designed and built a home television receiver in time to pick up broadcasts originating at the 1939 World’s Fair. He published a (more…)
