A. Gardner Fox
A. Gardner Fox (born November 22, 1912 in Syracuse , New York, † November 24, 1992 in Harmony , Pennsylvania) was an American physicist and inventor.
Fox grew up in Montclair , New Jersey and studied electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a master's degree.
Fox was with Bell Laboratories for 41 years . In the 1930s he developed a compact, powerful radio transmitter and receiver for communication between the aircraft and the airport tower. During the Second World War he was involved in the development of radar in air defense (SCR 545) and developed a microwave circuit that allowed submarines to do without rotating radar. After the war, he developed the first microwave communication system for the telephone company ATT, which made telephone connections nationwide possible in the USA.
In quantum electronics, he is known for his study of laser modes with Tingye Li .
In 1978 he received the first IEEE Quantum Electronics Award for outstanding contributions to the theory and application of ferrite , non-reciprocal and parametric elements and laser resonator modes and laser resonators .
He held 52 patents in microwave and quantum electronics.
He was married to Ellen VanWinkle Fox and had two sons and two daughters.
