Charles Sidney Burrus “Sid” to almost everyone whose boyhood fascination with electricity set him on a path to become a pioneer in digital signal processing during a long and influential career at Rice University, died April 3.
Burrus ’57, the Maxfield and Oshman Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and former dean of engineering, was 86 years old.
“Rice engineering has lost one of the great ones,” said Bart Sinclair ’73 ’74 ’79, who retired in 2019 as senior associate dean of engineering after 50 years at Rice.
Among the many honors he amassed during 56 years on Rice’s faculty, Burrus won the annual George R. Brown Teaching Award six times. “Sidney was not just a popular lecturer,” Sinclair said. “He was a demanding one.”

Unique Gate Drive Applications Enable Rapidly Switching On/Off for Your High Power Amplifier
Question: Can you switch on or off your RF source within 200 ns?
Answer: In pulsed radar applications, rapid turn on/off of the high power amplifier (HPA) is required during the transition from transmit to receive operation. Typical transition time objectives can be less than 1 µs. Historically this has been implemented through drain control. Drain control necessitates switching large currents at voltages ranging from 28 V to 50 V. This is practical with known switching power techniques, but involves additional physical size and circuit complications. In modern phased array antenna developments, while demanding the lowest SWaP possible, it is desirable to eliminate the complications associated with drain switching on HPAs.

In an exclusive interview for the Council for Strategic Policy (cfsp.rs), Admiral Burke said that “Serbia is our neighbor, a reliable and valuable partner, which helps us promote peace and security in the region”, emphasizing that “the NATO-Serbia partnership is long-standing, since 2006 when Serbia joined NATO’s Partnership for Peace”.
BURKE IN HIS FIRST VISIT TO GET A BETTER SENSE OF THE REGION: In his first visit to the Western Balkans, during which he will visit KFOR in Pristina, Sarajevo and Belgrade, Admiral Burke said that he was coming here to get a better sense of the region, since stability and security of the Western Balkans is important for NATO.
