A Tribute to Andy Hish, a True Engineering Pioneer
Andy Hish was a true pioneer in the fields of high frequency measurement, EMC, and ESD. This podcast is an interview with Michael King, a close friend of Andy's. In the interview, Michael recalls some of Andy's major contributions to the field of EMC and ESD. There is a great piece technical history here.
- Some of the questions answered in the interview:
- What was the Stoddard Aircraft Radio Company?
- Why was Andy's ESD simulator, designed decades ago, far more advanced than anything we have today?
- What happened to his ESD simulator design and why are we not using it today?
