  • Abstract
    This article details about the life and achievements of George H. Brown. In 1967, the IEEE awarded the Edison Medal to him. He was cited for his "significant engineering contributions to antenna development, electromagnetic propagation, the broadcast industry, the art of radio-frequency heating, and color television." He spent his professional career as an engineer inventor and research director with the Radio Corporation of America (RCA). He received approximately 80 U.S. patents and authored numerous technical papers.
