Palghat P. Vaidyanathan (born in Kolkata, India on 16 October 1954) is the Kiyo and Eiko Tomiyasu Professor of Electrical Engineering at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California, USA, where he teaches and leads research in the area of signal processing, especially digital signal processing (DSP), and its applications. He has authored four books, and authored or coauthored close to six hundred papers in various IEEE journals and conferences. Prof. Vaidyanathan received his B.Tech. and M.Tech. degrees from the Institute of Radiophysics and Electronics, Science College campus of University of Kolkata, and a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from University of California Santa Barbara in 1982.

Contents

Prof. Vaidyanathan's pioneering contributions include the development of the theory and structures for filter banks, [1] especially perfect reconstruction and orthonormal filter banks, which find applications in data compression standards such as JPEG and MPEG, and in digital communications. One of his early contributions is the development of the theory of robust digital filter structures directly in discrete time without recourse to classical circuit theoretical models. [2] He has also contributed widely in other areas of signal processing including image processing, [3] genomic signal processing, [4] sampling theory, [5] optimal transceivers, [6] radar signal processing, [7] and sensor array processing. [8] He has also explored the role of number theory in signal processing applications. [9]

The Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) [pronounced simmer] was a five-frequency microwave radiometer flown on the Seasat and Nimbus 7 satellites. Both were launched in 1978, with the Seasat mission lasting less than six months until failure of the primary bus. The Nimbus 7 SMMR lasted from 25 October 1978 until 20 August 1987. It measured dual-polarized microwave radiances, at 6.63, 10.69, 18.0, 21.0, and 37.0 GHz, from the Earth's atmosphere and surface. Its primary legacy has been the creation of areal sea-ice climatologies for the Arctic and Antarctic.

Precoding is a generalization of beamforming to support multi-stream transmission in multi-antenna wireless communications. In conventional single-stream beamforming, the same signal is emitted from each of the transmit antennas with appropriate weighting such that the signal power is maximized at the receiver output. When the receiver has multiple antennas, single-stream beamforming cannot simultaneously maximize the signal level at all of the receive antennas. In order to maximize the throughput in multiple receive antenna systems, multi-stream transmission is generally required.
