Heising was born in Albert Lea, Minnesota, graduated in 1912 in electrical engineering from the University of North Dakota, and in 1914 received his master"s degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Electrical Engineer, University North Dakota, 1912. Master of Sciences, University Wisconsin, 1914. Doctor of Science, 1947.
From 1914 until his retirement in 1953, Doctor Heising worked for the Western Electric Company and Bell Labs, and subsequently as a consulting engineer and patent agent. Heising played a major role in the development of military radio telephone systems in World War I, and for transoceanic and ship-to-shore public communications. He also conducted research on ultra-short waves, electronics, and piezoelectric devices, and invented important modulation systems including the constant potential system, the grid modulation system, the rectifier modulation system used in carrier telephony, and the constant-current or Heising modulation system, which was standard on most early radio telephone transceivers.
Heising held over 100 patents, including those on Class C amplifiers and diode-triode detector amplifier circuits, and was a Fellow of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and American Physical Society.
Fellow Institute of Radio Engineers (past president, Morris Liebmann Memorial Prize, 1921, Founder’s medal 1957), American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Physical Society, American Institute of Elctrical Engineering.
