The former director of RAI’s research centre, Alberto Morello, has been awarded an Honorary Fellowship by the DVB Project.
The award was made during the DVB World 2022 event in Brussels.
Congratulating Dr Morello, DVB Chair Peter MacAvock described him as the “father of DVB-S2”, referring to his work leading the technical group that developed the second-generation specification for satellite broadcasting.
Dr Morello also worked on the terrestrial system DVB-T2. Both systems were notable for coming close to the Shannon limit, the theoretical best performance for transmission systems.
Accepting the award, Dr Morello said that his work with DVB had been his favourite activity of his professional life. “I’m proud that DVB-S and DVB-S2 have become the unique worldwide standards for television by satellite. And I’m proud that, since they were the first systems to have been developed for the physical layer, you can see the DNA of DVB-S in the whole family of DVB standards.”
He retired in December 2019 following a career of more than 35 years.
