Gerald Frederick Baskerville (Gerald Frederick Baskerville) was born on March 12, 1903. He was an American physicist and electrical engineer. He is best known for inventing high frequency electromagnetic oscilloscope and creating ultra-high frequency (UHF) dual microphone technology for movie sound systems.
Baskerville was born in Denver, Colorado. He grew up in Denver, where he attended the University of Denver and earned a bachelors degree. After graduation, he worked at Motorola and then moved to RCA in 1927. At RCA, he developed a groundbreaking invention, the high-frequency electromagnetic oscilloscope. This type of oscilloscope is used to measure the frequency and amplitude of a signal, making it possible for engineers to diagnose and repair electronics circuits.
Baskervilles invention brought the communication and sound technology industry closer to the sound advances in movies with the invention of the UHF dual-microphone system. This system enabled studios to record more than one audio source in a single take, and improved the sound quality of movie soundtracks. This invention revolutionized the film industry, making it possible for movies to have realistic sound effects and music.
By 1960, Baskerville was Vice President of Engineering at RCA. He worked on the early development of Television broadcast technology, help lay the groundwork for color television. In 1962, he received the SMPTE Progress Medal Award and in 1965 the Engineering Emmy Award for pioneering development of UHF dual-microphone system in the motion pictures and television industries. In 1965, he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering.
Baskerville continued to work at RCA for another twelve years, and in 1983, was appointed RCAs Distinguished Senior Member of the Technical Staff. He retired from RCA in 1987 and passed away in 2011 at the age of 108. He was awarded numerous honors for his contributions to the motion picture and television industry, and was inducted into the National Academies of Engineering in 1989.
Throughout his life, Baskerville held numerous patents and his inventions helped revolutionize television technology and bring the film industry closer to the sound advancements. He was a pioneer of sound effects and music in the movie industry. Even though he passed away in 2011 at the age of 108, his technologies still stand the test of time today.
