Arogyaswami J. Paulraj's development of multiple input-multi- ple output (MIMO) antenna technology for wireless communications has revolutionized both local area and mobile broadband communications, enabling high-speed access to multimedia services. Employing multiple antennas at both the transmit and the receive stations, the success of MIMO is its ability to provide both higher data rates and wider coverage areas. Dr. Paulraj first developed the idea of MIMO in 1992 while at Stanford University. Using the spatial multiplexing concept that exploits MIMO antennas, he demonstrated that spectral ef- ficiency could be improved by transmitting independent data streams from each transmit antenna and then exploiting the distinct spatial signatures of each stream at the receive antennas to separate them. He was issued a patent for the MIMO concept in 1994, but he faced skepticism from industry and funding sources. However, he persisted and held annual workshops at Stanford on the technology that eventually helped interest in MIMO take hold in the late 1990s. Dr. Paulraj founded Iospan Wireless Inc. in 1998 as the first company to incorporate MIMO technology in a commercial system. The lessons learned at Iospan gave the wireless industry confidence to incorporate MIMO into emerging wireless standards. Iospan's technology underpins today's 4G wireless systems. Intel Corp. acquired part of Iospan in 2003 to help launch its own push into wireless broadband, further establishing the importance of Dr. Paulraj's MIMO concept. An IEEE Fellow, Dr. Paulraj is a Professor Emeritus at Stanford University, Calif., and a senior advisor to Broadcom Corp., Irvine, Calif.

Considered one of the top imaging scientists in the world for his knowledge of the underlying physics and mathematics of bio- medical imaging, Harrison H. Barrett has broadly impacted the field with contributions to instrumentation, reconstruction algo- rithms and image quality assessment. He has provided a rigorous theoretical basis and clearly defined experimental and computa- tional paradigms for the assessment and optimization of image quality. His work led to improved understanding of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging, which uses gamma rays to provide three-dimensional imaging of the brain, tumors and bone. Dr. Barrett's research on image quality assessment has revolutionized how medical imaging systems are evaluated. He implemented numerical observers that allow a computer to analyze images instead of using human observers, overcoming what can be a lengthy process. Quantitative image quality assessment is now a requirement for practically all biomedical imaging. As early as 1972, he published some of the first results on using coded apertures for high-reso- lution tomographic imaging in nuclear medicine. During the 1980s and 1990s, he developed methods to improve the resolu- tion-sensitivity trade-off in SPECT systems. He developed a stationary hemispherical SPECT system for human brain imaging and the FastSPECT and FastSPECT II systems for fast dynamic imaging in small animals. Recent developments include semi- conductor arrays for high-resolution gamma-ray imaging. He co-founded the University of Arizona Center for Gamma-Ray Imaging in 1998. An IEEE Fellow, Dr. Barrett is currently Regents Professor and director of the Center for Gamma-Ray Imaging at the University of Arizona, Tucson.

Neil Siegel's groundbreaking systems engineering work in creating the "digital battlefield" has helped define the future of the U.S. armed forces and is already saving the lives of soldiers and Marines. Dr. Siegel led the design of a digital system capable of tracking friendly and enemy forces, thereby revolu- tionizing tactical-level command and control. He led programmatic, systems engineering and technology efforts and also guided what was an initially controversial concept through political minefields to realization. This system, known as Force XXI Battle Command Brigade-and-Below (FBCB2), is also known as the Blue-Force Tracker. Dr. Siegel's invention of the force- structure-aware communications network provides better communications in the challenging tactical environment by in- corporating continuously updated knowledge of the military force structure it is supporting into routing decisions. The com- munications network achieves reliable infrastructureless wireless communications for tens of thousands of mobile platforms, without depending on cellular towers or fixed-site relays. FBCB2 has thereby become the U.S. Army's principle battle command system, is deployed on U.S. Army and U.S. Marines vehicles worldwide and is credited with saving hundreds of soldiers' lives during its use in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Balkans. It has been cited by commanders as one of the most decisive new military technologies of our time. Over 90,000 units of this system are in use today, and it is planned to be the cornerstone of U.S. tactical operations for decades to come. An IEEE Fellow and member of the National Academy of Engineering, Dr. Siegel is currently sector vice president and chief engineer at Northrop Grumman's Information Systems, Dominguez Hills, Calif.

The Ceremony's theme, emphasizing persistence, is in some discord with the way scientific and technical breakthroughs are often described in popular media. Often such breakthroughs are portrayed as isolated bursts of creativity and innovation, reflecting momentary inspiration or mysterious flashes of luck. Yet, while sparks of creativity do occur, and some great discoveries and inventions can perhaps be attributed to them, the reality is that progress is more often the result of a much more complicated and laborious process. This process involves the grad- ual building of experimental and theoretical foundations; contributions from many observers, experimenters and scholars; and long debates on hypotheses and causations. When a new invention finally emerges from this process, bright and fresh, it often appears self evident even obvious. It seldom is. The path that led to discoveries such as the ones we honor in 2011 is frequently quite complicat- ed. Progress happens from time to time, but so do dead ends, wrong directions and negative results. Moreover, the individuals who are representing the spectacular achievements we cel- ebrate often drew on previous studies and truly "stand on the shoulders of giants." They are brilliant thinkers and original inventors in their own right but they also had the benefit of earlier studies, guidance by teachers and mentors, institutional support, students, colleagues, and col- laborators. We celebrate all of them, as well as the nominators and benefactors of the medals and awards the generous donors who recognized the importance of acknowledging properly the intellect and gifts of the leaders of our profession. They all play an important part in making the IEEE Awards Program one of the highest forms of recognition in our community. We hope that highlighting the accomplishments of the 2011 recipients will inspire all of us especially younger professionals to re-dedicate ourselves to the profession, and to recognize how large the potential still is to use our education, talents and experience to advance technology for humanity.

Since 1950, only 125 individuals have been selected to receive this honor. In September 2010, IEEE and HKN merged to form IEEE Eta Kappa Nu. For a full listing of Eminent Members, visit the website, www.hkn.org 4 People living in remote areas of the world have limited access to medical care. Recent advances in broadband communication, combined with multimedia compression methods, convinced the PoaS@ude team that telemedicine solutions to this problem were possible. The PoaS@ude Telemedicine Project aimed to develop a real-time eHealth solution and promotion of public prevention programs for remote areas. The primary focus was on obstetric ultrasonography for prenatal care. The concepts were applied in remote districts of Porto Alegre, Southern Brazil, remote cities of the Amazon region, and in Northern Brazil, where a hospital is a 12- to 24-hour boat ride away. The team conceived a collaborative tele-ultrasound system over a hybrid network, which included a PLC (Power Line) and a satellite, based on multimedia data, called VideoMed. Using this, a medical specialist could assist, guide, and interact in real time with a remote doctor. The signal is coded in MPEG-4 and transmitted live. The specialist would analyze and communicate by audio and through a pointer, giving procedural instructions to the remote doctor showing, for example, a hand in picture-in- picture (PIP) form. The benefits of PoaS@ude were two-fold: increased prenatal exams and early diagnosis of problems for pregnancy patients and increased training and contact with specialists for remote doctors.

Donald C. Loughry's leadership and support of IEEE standards initiatives have provided the structure necessary for the success- ful growth of computer networking and wireless communications technology. Among his many contributions to standards devel- opment, Loughry was a key initiator of the IEEE's 802 family of standards during the 1980s and 1990s, which has had important implications for local area networks (LANs) and wireless data transfer. The 802 group would become one of the most prolific sponsors of standards within IEEE with great economic and social impact. In 1980, Loughry helped form the IEEE 802 LAN standards committee, which had the task of reaching consensus on three to five LAN standards to facilitate development and implementation of the technology. Loughry served as the initial study group chairperson for work on Ethernet connection tech- nology. He was a key contributor to the 802.3 working group, which defined a 10 megabit per second connection standard in 1985. By 1998, the 802.3 Ethernet standard was employed in over 100 million computer networks worldwide. During the 1990s, Loughry helped initiate the development of the 802.11 standards for wireless LANs, providing the structure for wireless data transfer to laptop computers, digital music players and other handheld devices throughout homes, businesses and at WiFi hotspots. Loughry also worked hard to give IEEE the repu- tation of a worldwide standards organization, leading the evolution of the IEEE Standards Board into the IEEE Standards Association. An IEEE Life Senior Member, Loughry worked for Hewlett-Packard Company, Palo Alto, Calif., for 42 years until his retirement in 1998 as standards manager.

For over six decades James M. Headrick was a key contributor to the success of high-frequency over-the-horizon (OTH) radar, an important advance over conventional microwave radar tech- niques. High-frequency OTH radar has a range of 2,000 nautical miles and beyond for detecting aircraft, ships and ballistic missiles and determining the strength of winds that drive ocean waves. Mr. Headrick's pioneering work to develop high-frequen- cy OTH radar began at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in the late 1940s. By 1956 the Naval Research Laboratory was the first to successfully demonstrate a Doppler shift technique for detecting aircraft and ships despite the echoes caused by sea clutter. Mr. Headrick's efforts led to the operation of the Naval Research Lab's MADRE (for magnetic drum radar equipment) OTH radar located on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay in 1961. He demonstrated the detection of aircraft and ships, of nuclear tests, of ballistic missile launches and the importance of sea echoes. MADRE provided the foundation that led to the U.S. Air Force's Continental Air Defense radar as well as the U.S. Navy's Relocatable OTH Radar (ROTHR) system, which has been adapted for use by U.S. Customs to detect drug smugglers trying to cross the U.S. border. Mr. Headrick's work has also affected radar systems outside the United States, such as Australia's Jindalee radar, which is the cornerstone of Australia's national surveillance system. An IEEE Life Senior Member, Mr. Headrick, who passed away in February 2011, was a retired annuitant research engineer with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory residing in Stanfield, Ore

As one of the inventors of the first microprocessor, Marcian E. Hoff revolutionized the computing and electronics industries, and other contributions have helped usher in the digital age of communications. Dr. Hoff is best known for his role in develop- ing the first microprocessor (the Intel 4004) with Stanley Mazor and Federico Faggin in 1969. Dr. Hoff also applied the micropro- cessor concept to programmable digital devices that revolutionized telephony, opened the door to mobile communi- cations and enabled digital delivery of music and photos as well. From 1975 to 1980, Dr. Hoff led a team at Intel that moved signal processing from the analog domain to the digital domain. Working with Matt Townsend, Stephen Dryer and John Huggins, the first commercially available monolithic CODEC (the Intel 2910) was released in 1978 for converting voice signals between analog and digital formats. Today, this process is taken for granted, but this work helped launch the digital age of commu- nications. In 1979, Dr. Hoff's team released the Intel 2920, which was an early digital signal processing chip. Dr. Hoff's impact began well before inventing the first microprocessor. As a doctoral student at Stanford University in 1960, he developed the least mean squares (LMS) adaptive algorithm with thesis advisor Bernard Widrow. The LMS algorithm became one of the enabling technologies of the Internet, and it is now used in some form in most modems and adaptive signal processors for echo cancellation, channel equalization and adaptive antennas. An IEEE Life Fellow, Dr. Hoff retired from Teklicon, Inc., San Jose, Calif., in 1997, where he served as chief technologist
