What this episode covers

Jeff Kaiser, known as Mighty Ohm, discusses his transition from full-time employment to contracting at Valve, highlighting the financial friction of floating component costs and managing business overhead. He details his focus on signal integrity, explaining the use of vector network analyzers and time-domain reflectometry for high-speed digital design, while recommending key texts by Eric Bogatin and Henry Ott. The conversation also covers the challenges of scaling his Mighty Ohm kit business through a partnership with Elektor, and speculates on 2019 technology trends including USB Type-C adoption, 60 GHz RF, and satellite internet constellations.
