Charles E. Muehe was born in Seattle, WA, on September 27, 1924. He received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Seattle University in 1950 and the M.S. degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in
1952.
After spending four years on the teaching faculty of Seattle University, he joined the Microwave Components Group at M.I.T. Lincoln Laboratory, where he designed a variety of RF hardware specializing in broadband techniques, gaseous and solid-state duplexers, and other high power microwave components. From 1969 he served as group leader of a group specializing in the development of advanced radars utilizing Doppler principles. This group was responsible for the development of the moving target detector (MTD), an advanced digital signal processor used in air surveillance radars to allow automatic acquisition and tracking of all aircraft within the radar’s antenna coverage. He has published a variety of papers in the areas of microwave development and applications, plasma physics, and radar digital signal processing. Retiring from Lincoln Laboratories in 1990 after 34 years of service, he immediately became a consultant to them, continuing until his “second” retirement in 2000. He served as the radar editor for the IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems for many years; he has published a variety of papers in the areas of microwave developments and applications, plasma physics, and radar digital signal processing. Mr. Muehe is a member of Sigma Xi, Alpha Sigma Nu, and the American Physical Society.
