Donald J. Sauer David Sarnoff Research Center, Princeton Donald Sauer designed and developed the first commercial charge-coupled device (CCD) comb-filter integrated circuits which established RCA leadership in color TV receiver signal quality. In addition, these patents are licensed world-wide for picture stabilization in camcorder, VCR, and videodisc products. The CCD comb filter is one of seven integrated circuit design innovations in analog-digital applications, CCDs, and imaging/electro-optic processing applications Sauer has designed for the Sarnoff Center. Sauer is a distinguished member of the technical staff in the Integrated Circuit Laboratory of Sarnoff's Solid State Division. He earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of California at Los Angeles and is the author of 21 technical publications and inventor or co-inventor of 25 U.S. patents. In 1989, he received the David Sarnoff Award for Outstanding Technical Achievement -- the prestigious award is Sarnoff's highest technical honor. He is a resident of Allentown.
