Hello All,
Let's try and find out who all are the top 10
contributers to the field of DSP so far. Also
it would be good if along with the name, if
people can mention a few lines about their
contribution.
If anyone has a nice collection of anecdotes
on dsp or contributers (some lighter moments
from their life) please share.
Regards

How about DSPGURU ?
As he can I can give answers to all our doubts he will definitely be leader
of the list.
At least in near future.

I thought bharat was thinking of guys like: John Tukey & J. Cooley-inventors and proponents of the FFT. Thomas Parks & James McClellan-revolutionized FIR filter design. ????-inventor of polyphase filtering (Was that the frenchy M. Bellanger? I don't know.) Charles Rader and Ben Gold-wrote the very first DSP textbook to discuss digital filters and the FFT. (Rader did much more than just co-author a book.) W. Gentleman, Thomas Stockham, and Gordon Sande (who posts here on occasion)-for pioneering analysis of, and improvements to, FFTs. Claude Shannon-developed what we now call the Nyquist sampling criterion. Lofti Zadeh-led the team that developed the mathematics of the z-transform. (Zadeh is also the inventor of fuzzy-logic.) R. Blackman, P. Welch, and John Tukey-pioneered the concepts of, and techniques for, performing spectrum analysis of discrete sequences. Richard Hamming and J. Kaiser-pioneered the concepts of filtering digital sequences. Ken Steiglitz-pioneering work on recursive digital filters. Eugene Hogenaur-proposed, an gave a complete analysis of, CIC filters. And what about Oppenheim, Schafer, Rabiner, Crochiere, fred harris, Herrmann, Charles Burrus, etc.? (Compiling a list like this will make you a few friends and 100 enemies.) The reason that we can see as far into DSP as we can is because we're standing on the shoulders of these men. Now I am proud to say that I did invent something once. It was a sock drawer that when you pulled out the drawer a light came on so you could tell the difference between black socks and dark blue socks. Sadly, that invention achieved no commercial success. See Ya, [-Rick-]
