From Wikipedia

John Renshaw Carson (June 28, 1886 – October 31, 1940) was an American transmission theorist for early communications systems. He invented single-sideband modulation and developed the Carson bandwidth rule for estimating frequency modulation (FM) bandwidth. In 2013, Carson was inducted into the Electronic Design Hall of Fame for his contributions to communications.

Carson was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and, together with his twin brother Joseph, attended Princeton University, graduating in 1907 with a Bachelor of Science degree. John attended the Massachusetts Institute of… More on Wikipedia →
