KNOTT, EUGENE F.
Eugene, age 82, of Custer, WA died Monday, June 2 at Silverado Senior Living. He was born in Chicago, IL on May 4, 1932 and raised in Ann Arbor, MI. He was the son of the late Fred Knott and Muriel French Knott. He was also preceded in death by his brother, Ralph Clayton Knott; and wife, Ruth Miller Knott. Eugene served his country in the U.S. Army from 1952-1954. He received his Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan in 1966 and pursued research in microwaves and radar at the University of Michigan, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Texas at Austin and The Boeing Company in Seattle. Eugene authored and published Radar Cross Section Measurement in 1985. He co-authored the update, Radar Cross Section that was published in 1993. His research continues to provide a critical foundation in the industry and is often cited today as scientists further advance radar technology.
