BACKGROUND
fredric j harris is a professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at San Diego State University where he holds the CUBIC Signal Processing Chair of the Communication Systems and Signal Processing Institute. He has taught at SDSU since 1967 in the areas related to Digital Signal Processing and Communication Systems. His courses include Multi-rate Signal processing, Digital Receivers, Fast Algorithms, Fast Fourier Transforms, Adaptive Algorithms, Noise Feedback Quantizers and DSP algorithms, Digital Signal Conditioning Systems, Source Coding, and Error Correcting Codes.
He has extensive practical experience applying his skills to satellite and cable TV communication systems, wire-line and wireless modems, underwater acoustics, advanced radar and high performance laboratory instrumentation. He holds a number of patents on digital receiver and DSP technology and lectures throughout the world on DSP applications. He consults for organizations requiring high performance DSP systems including the Navy Ocean Systems Center, Lockheed, ESL, Cubic, Hughes, Sylvania-GTE, Scientific Atlanta, Rockwell, Brooktree, Comstream, Hewlett Packard, Tektronix, TRW, GDE, and Motorola.
He is well published and has contributed to a number of books on DSP. In 1990 and 1991 he was the Technical and then the General Chair of the Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems, and Computers which meets annually in Pacific Grove, California. He is a Senior member of the IEEE and his education includes a Bachelor's Degree in EE from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn (1961), a Master's Degree in EE from San Diego State University (1967) and Ph.D. work at the University of California, San Diego (1968-1973).
He is a traditional absent-minded professor who drives secretaries and editors to distraction by requesting strictly lower case letters to spell his name. For amusement, he roams the world collecting old toys and slide-rules and riding old railways.
