Paul Eliot Green, Jr. (born January 14, 1924 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina) is an American electrical engineer who researched spread spectrum and radar technology. He was the son of playwright Paul Green. Green majored in physics at the University of North Carolina. He also served in the Naval ROTC and continued in the Navy Reserve for many years, eventually retiring as a lieutenant commander.〔 He received a master's degree in electrical engineering from North Carolina State University in 1948.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Distinguished Engineering Alumnus Award Recipient: Paul E. Green Jr., 1983 )〕 His masters studies focused on cryptographic research, and were followed by Ph.D. from M.I.T. (1953) on a thesis on spread spectrum, supervised by Wilbur Davenport, Robert Fano and Jerome Wiesner. This involved co-creating the Rake receiver (with Robert Price) and supervision of its deployment in a first-ever spread-spectrum system, the Lincoln F9C (1950).〔 Following his studies, Green and Price (at Lincoln Laboratories), attempting to bounce radar waves off the planet Venus (1958). With Gordon Pettengill, he worked out a theory of range-Doppler mapping that was used on the Magellan probe mapping of Venus' surface twenty years later. He also designed the LASA (Large Aperture Seismic Array) for earthquake prediction, first deployed in Montana and Norway (at NORSAR) in 1963. In 1969, Green became head of IBM Research, communications dept., involved in the Systems Network Architecture, in particular the Advanced peer-to-peer networking protocol. Since 1988 he headed the optical communications (focusing on wavelength division multiplexing) research group that was acquired by Tellabs company where he worked 1997-2000. Since his retirement he has lobbied for expanded public access to broadband technology.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Featured alumnus: Dr. Paul E. Green, Jr. )〕 Green published extensively during his career; major works include ''Fiber Optic Networks'' (1992) and ''Fiber to the Home: The New Empowerment'' (2005). Since 1981 he has written the CommuniCrostics crossword in the IEEE Communications Magazine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CommuniCrostics Author )〕 ==Honors== * He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (1962). * He received the Aerospace pioneer award (1980). * He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering (1982).〔 * He received the Simon Ramo medal (1991). * He served as the IEEE Communications Society president (1992–93). * He received the SIGCOMM Award (1994). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul Green (engineer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
