Barrie Gilbert

Barrie Gilbert was born in 1937 in Bournemouth, England. He is mostly well-known for his invention of Gilbert cell which is used as a mixer in any modern wireless communication device. He pursued an early interest in solid-state devices at Mullard Ltd., working on first-generation planar IC’s. Emigrating to the United States in 1964, he joined Tektronix, Beaverton, Oregon, where he developed the first electronic knob-readout system and other advances in instrumentation. Between 1970–1972 he was Group Leader at Plessey Research Laboratories. He joined Analog Devices Inc., Beaverton, OR, in 1972 and was appointed as ADI Fellow in 1979.

For work on merged logic Dr. Gilbert received the IEEE “Outstanding Achievement Award” (1970) and the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Council “Outstanding Development Award” (1986). He was Oregon Researcher of the Year in 1990 and received the Solid-State Circuits Award (1992) for “Contributions to Nonlinear Signal Processing.” He has five times received the ISSCC Outstanding Paper Award and has been issued over 40 patents. He holds an Honorary Doctorate from Oregon State University.
