Mitra’s publication record includes 14 books including “Analysis and Synthesis of Linear Active Networks” (Wiley 1969), translated into Polish language; “Modern Filter Theory and Design” (Wiley 1973), translated into Polish and Russian languages; “Introduction to Digital and Analog Electronic Circuits, and Applications” (Harper & Row, 1980); “Digital Signal Processing: Computer-Based Approach” (McGraw-Hill, 2010, 4th edition), translated into Chinese languages in China and Taiwan, and Spanish language and “Digital Signal Processing Laboratory Using MATLAB” (McGraw-Hill, 1999), translated into Chinese and Japanese languages); 18 book chapters, 246 journal papers, 460 conference papers and 7 patents. He served as the Co-Editor of the book “Nonlinear Image Processing” (Academic Press, 2000) with Professor G. L. Sicuranza of University of Trieste, Italy. His publications have been cited 31,115 times with an h-index of 73 and an i-10 index of 345 (Google Scholar).

Mitra was interviewed in 1998 for the oral history project and the taped interview containing his most important contributions is available in the IEEE’s Oral History Collection: (http://www.ieeeghn.org/wiki/index.php/Oral-History:Sanjit_Mitra). He has been awarded the Golden Jubilee Medal of the IEEE Circuits & Systems Society in 1999 and the IEEE Third Millennium Medal in 2000. Recently another interesting interview with him has been published by the IEEE CAS magazine Q1 2022 (https://ieee-cas.org/table-contents-ieee-circuits-and-systems-magazine-issue-1-first-quarter-2022).

Mitra was honored as a pioneer in signal processing at the 1998 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, and also as a pioneer in circuits, systems, and signal processing at the 2017 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits & Systems. Two special sessions entitled “50 Years of Circuits, Systems, & Signals in Honor of Prof. Sanjit K. Mitra” were presented at the 2017 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits & Systems with speakers from China, Italy, India, Singapore and U.S.A.
