Josip Sliskovic (born December 8, 1901 in Croatia, † June 26, 1984 ) was a radio pioneer in Austria.
Josip Sliskovic studied at the humanistic grammar school in Mostar and ten semesters at the Technical University in Vienna. In 1924/25, while still a student, he built the first 10-tube superhet for all wavelengths for the Austrian company TESIG . In 1926 he started miniaturization . In 1927 he was hired by Kapsch & Söhne , where he soon became head of the radio and amplifier department.
The first radio construction at Kapsch was a 4-lamp radio set called Polydyne , which cost 607 schillings.
In 1929 he built the first experimental television set with the usual 30 lines and 1200 pixels, which was presented in 1930 at the Vienna Spring Fair. Today it is in the Technical Museum in Vienna.
By 1931/32 he designed the Pionier-L for the first time, a radio with a built-in loudspeaker.
After the Second World War, he built the first European network-operated small receiver "Mucki". Before you had to rely on batteries.
In 1949/50 he built the Kapsch Weekend 5 , modeled on American personal radios, the first real portable device (only 3 kg including batteries) on the European continent. On his initiative, flat cell anode batteries were produced.
From 1948 he promoted printed circuit boards .
In December 1949 he was the first to demonstrate a transistor in Austria and has since developed numerous circuits. On January 28, 1956, on the occasion of the release of transistors for retail sale, he started a series of articles entitled " Things worth knowing about transistors ".
From 1955 he worked as a technical consultant for general electronics and around 1958 worked with the Kristallwerk Rainer KG (later HEA) in Graz, which was founded in 1951 .
