Viterbi Lecture

Andrew J. Viterbi is the legendary communications figure for whom the Viterbi School is named. Viterbi helped open the doors to the digital age with the Viterbi Algorithm, an original mathematical formula for eliminating signal interference.

Today, his algorithm is used in all four international standards for digital cellular telephones, as well as in data terminals, digital satellite broadcast receivers and deep space telemetry.
