Edwin King Stodola (October 31, 1914 – April 6, 1992) was an American radio engineer. He was born in Brooklyn, New York,〔 and graduated from Cooper Union with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering in 1936, then an E.E. degree in 1947.〔〔 In 1936, he worked with Radio Engineering Laboratories, then he joined the U.S. Signal Corps in 1939 as a civilian radio engineer. In 1941, during World War II, he was stationed at the Evans Signal Laboratory near Belmar, New Jersey.〔 Following the war, Stodola was a member of Project Diana, a Signal Corps project to investigate long range radar. Led by John H. DeWitt, Jr., this group consisted of a five-man team with Stodola as the chief scientist.〔 During a test on January 10, 1946, this team became the first to bounce a radio signal off the moon and detect the resulting echo (Earth-Moon-Earth or EME).〔〔 He left the Signal Corps in 1947 and became an engineer with Reeves Instrument Corporation.〔 Stodola received the Presidential Citation from Cooper Union in 1987 in recognition of his contributions to radar and radar tracking systems,〔 and the Radio Club of America's prestigious Armstrong Medal in 1991.〔 A licensed radio amateur (W2AXO) since childhood, he was inducted posthumously into the CQ Amateur Radio Hall of Fame in 2011.〔 He was married to Elsa D. Stodola and the couple had a son, Robert King, and three daughters, Cynthia, Leslie, and Sherry. Following Elsa’s death, he married Rose B. Stodola. In 1983 he moved to Central Florida.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edwin King Stodola」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
