Gottfried Ungerboeck

Gottfried Ungerboeck

Gottfried Ungerboeck received an electrical engineering degree in telecommunications in 1964 from Vienna University of Technology, and the Ph.D. degree from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich in 1970. He joined IBM Austria as systems engineer in 1965 and the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory in 1967. He worked on digital signal processing and switching systems, communication and information theory. Among many contributions to the theory of data transmission, he invented trellis coded modulation.

Dr. Ungerboeck joined Broadcom in 1998 as Technical Director for Communication Systems Research.

Gottfried Ungerboeck has received several awards and honours for his work: IBM Fellow (1984), IEEE Fellow (1985), Marconi Prize (1996), Australia Prize (1997).
