Biography
Daniel Talbot has been named a Life Member of IEEE for his membership of over 50 years and a member of Eta Kappa Nu, and also named a Fellow of the Audio Engineering Society for his accomplishments while Chief Engineer of DBX, an audio equipment manufacturer making noise reduction products.
He was a Principal Engineer at Raytheon Missile Systems working mainly on frequency synthesis. He also worked as a Research Engineer at David Sarnoff Laboratories (RCA) working on issues in color television such as synchronous demodulation of the VSB (vestigial sideband) transmission system and surface wave filter side effects and was involved in IC (integrated circuit) design (using an early 3 GHZ RCA process).
