JON HAMKINS, Ph D, is the Technical Supervisor of the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory’s Information Processing Group. Dr. Hamkins,
a Senior Member of the IEEE, has been awarded several NASA Tech
Briefs for his innovations in signal processing, coding theory, and
optical communications.
MARVIN K. SIMON, Ph D, is a Senior Research Engineer at
the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. His research in modulation, coding,
and synchronization has been instrumental in the design of many of
NASA’s deep space and near earth missions, for which he has been
awarded dozens of patents and awards. This is Dr. Simon’s twelfth
book.
