Radar was developed during World War II for defense and security applications, and it was initially used for detecting aircrafts and missiles, replacing short range and narrow field-of-view acoustic devices. 

Signal processing works around us constantly, doing unseen work to keep us connected in infinite ways, including wi-fi internet. In our new video, Signal Processing for Wi-Fi, learn how signal processing methods are used to overcome challenges, letting you stay connected across multiple devices simultaneously and without interruption.

When the IEEE Signal Processing Society was initially established as the Professional Group on Audio in 1948, signal processing as we know it didn’t exist. The founders of what would eventually become IEEE’s first society could not have foreseen the evolution of their discipline’s once-narrow scope.

The Executive Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society appointed a new Editor-in-Chief for IEEE Signal Processing Letters who will start her term on 1 January 2020.
