John Milton Miller
John Milton Miller (born June 22, 1882 in Hanover , Pennsylvania , † May 17, 1962 in Pompano Beach , Florida ) was an American engineer and radio pioneer. He is the namesake of the electrical circuitry for amplifiers occurring Miller effect and generalized it Millertheorems .
Miller studied physics at Yale University until 1907 , followed by a doctoral degree until 1915. 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). This was followed by activities at Atwater Kent , a leading inventor and radio manufacturer in Philadelphia at the time, and until 1940 at the Radio Corporation of America (RCA). He then moved back to NRL as a research associate, where he stayed until his retirement in 1951. John Milton Miller was married to Frances Riley and had seven children: two girls and five boys.
John Milton Miller was awarded the IEEE Medal of Honor in 1953 for his work on amplifier circuits with electron tubes and work on crystal oscillators .
