Abstract
Professor Takeshi Yanagisawa, who passed away in June 2022, was one of the most outstanding leaders in the field of analog signal processing. Professor Yanagisawa graduated from Tokyo Institute of Technology (TokyoTech) in 1953, and received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from TokyoTech in 1955 and 1958, respectively. He has greatly contributed to the development of analog circuits, especially RC active filters. Originally, stable analog filters were realized using inductors, capacitors, and resistors. In order to install filters in a monolithic integrated circuit, the inductors must be avoided because of the difficulty of micro miniaturization. This led to the development of analog filter using resistor, capacaitors, and active elements such as amplifiers.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Circuits and Systems Magazine covers the subject areas represented by the Society's transactions, including: analog, passive, switch capacitor, and digital filters; electronic circuits, networks, graph theory, and RF communication circuits; system theory; discrete, IC, and VLSI circuit design; multidimensional circuits and systems; large-scale systems and power networks; nonlinear circuits and systems, wavelets, filter banks, and applications; neural networks; and signal processing. Content also covers the areas represented by the Society technical committees: analog signal processing, cellular neural networks and array computing, circuits and systems for communications, computer-aided network design, digital signal processing, multimedia systems and applications, neural systems and applications, nonlinear circuits and systems, power systems and power electronics and circuits, sensors and micromaching, visual signal processing and communication, and VLSI systems and applications. Lastly, the magazine covers the interests represented by the widespread conference activity of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society. In addition to the technical articles, the magazine also covers Society administrative activities, as for instance the meetings of the Board of Governors, Society People, as for instance the stories of award winners-fellows, medalists, and so forth, and Places reached by the Society, including readable reports from the Society's conferences around the world.
