KOTEL'NIKOV, VLADIMIR ALEKSANDRQVICH (Radio 



Engineer ) 

 V. A. Kotel'nikov was born August 24, 1908. After graduating 

 from Moscow Institute of Energetics, he worked at the Radio- 

 engineering and Electronics Institute of the U.S.S.R. Academy 

 of Sciences and became the Director in 1954. Since 1948 he 

 has been a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. 

 In 1953 Kotel'nikov was elected an Academician of the U.S.S.R. 

 Academy of Sciences. He received Stalin Prizes in 1943 and in 

 1946. 



Kotel'nikov has been concerned with errors in radio re- 

 ception and with the development of radio communication appa- 

 ratus. He introduced (1946) the concept of potential error sta- 

 bility as characteristic of given method of transmission. The 

 method of analysis suggested by him has had wide application 

 and great significance for the development of new methods of 

 radio communication. Under his direction, a multi-channel 

 telephon -telegraphic line of radiocommunication on a single 

 frequency side band was worked out.
