John Milton Miller

John Milton Miller ( born June 22, 1882 Hanover, Pennsylvania, † 17 May 1962 Pompano Beach, Florida ) was an American engineer and radio pioneer. He is the namesake of the Miller effect occurring in the electrical circuitry in amplifiers and the resulting generalized Millertheorems.

Miller studied until 1907 at Yale University in physics, it connected until 1915, a doctoral program. From 1907 to 1919 he was employed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST ), then until 1923 as a radio engineer at the United States Naval Research Laboratory ( NRL). After that, he worked at Atwater Kent, a leading at the time inventor and radio producer in Philadelphia and by 1940 at the Radio Corporation of America (RCA). Then he worked as a research assistant back to NRL, where he remained until his retirement in 1951. John Milton Miller was verhairatet with Frances Riley and had seven children: two girls and five boys.

John Milton Miller was awarded in 1953 for his work on amplifier circuits with electron tubes and work on crystal oscillators with the IEEE Medal of Honor.
