Abstract :
With the explosion in the popularity of cable and digital subscriber line modems for high-speed Internet access, the odds are that there will be one of these broadband communications devices in many homes or offices. The odds are that the chips inside the modem will have been designed by Broadcom Corp., and be based on digital signal-processing (DSP) architectures conceived by Henry Samueli. The author presents a biography of Samueli from his school days through his work in the defense industry and his teaching career to the co-founding of, and work at, Broadcom.
