Digital Filters: Analysis, Design, and Signal Processing Applications
About the Author
Andreas Antoniou received the B.Sc. (Eng. Hons.) and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of London in 1963 and 1966, respectively. From 1966 to 1969 he served as Senior Scientific Officer at the Post Office Research Department (was part of British Telecomunications), London, UK, and from 1969 to 1970 as member of the scientific staff at the R & D Laboratories of Northern Electric Company Ltd. (was part of Nortel Networks Corporation), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. From 1970 to 1983 he served in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Sir George Williams University (now Concordia University), Montreal, Quebec, Canada, as Professor from June 1973 and as department Chair from December 1977 to June 1983. He served as founding Chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, from July 1, 1983 to June 30, 1990, and continued in the same department as Professor from July 1, 1990 to June 30, 2003. He has been Professor Emeritus since July 1, 2003.
His teaching and research interests have been in the areas of circuits and systems and digital signal processing. He is the author of Digital Filters: Analysis and Design, McGraw-Hill, 1979, Digital Filters: Analysis, Design, and Applications, McGraw-Hill, 1993, and Digital Signal Processing: Signals, Systems, and Filters, McGraw-Hill, 2006, and co-author with W.-S. Lu of Two-Dimensional Digital Filters Marcel Dekker, 1992, and Practical Optimization: Algorithms and Engineering Applications, Springer, 2007. The 1979 edition was translated into Russian by the Publishing House of Radio and Communications, Moscow, in 1983 and the 2006 edition was translated into Greek by Tziolas Publications, Thessaloniki, Greece, in 2009, and all editions were reprinted in India by Tata McGraw-Hill. He published 147 journal and 255 conference papers (see the author's university web page for details) and received 3 patents on various gyrator circuits using operational amplifiers. One of his papers on gyrator circuits was awarded the Ambrose Fleming Premium by the Institution of Electrical Engineers, London, UK. He graduated 27 master's and 29 doctoral students.
Dr. Antoniou is a Life Member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of B.C., Life Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology. He served as Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems from June 1983 to May 1985 and as Editor of the same journal from June 1985 to May 1987, as a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Signal Processing Society during 2003--2004, as the General Chair of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and as Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society during 2006--2007.
He received an IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Golden Jubilee Medal for outstanding contributions to the Society and the Chairman's Award for Career Achievement from the Science Council of British Columbia both in 2000; the Doctor Honoris Causa degree from the Metsovio National Technical University of Athens, Greece, in 2002; the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Technical Achievement Award for 2005; the IEEE Canada Outstanding Engineering Educator Silver Medal for 2008; the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Education Award for 2009; the Craigdarroch Gold Medal for Career Achievement for 2011 and the Legacy Award for Research for 2011 both from the University of Victoria. He was named Honorary Co-Chair, 2011 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for outstanding contributions to education and research.
