Birth of Radio

1 2

In 1887, Heinrich Hertz discovered electromagnetic wave. Comments of Hertz on wireless: "Its of no use whatsoever[...] this is just an experiment that proves Maestro Maxwell was right - we just have these mysterious electromagnetic waves that we cannot see with the naked eye. But they are there." Asked about the ramications of his discoveries, Hertz replied, "Nothing, I guess." Denitely, he is WRONG!

Birth of Wireless Communications

On 13 May 1897, Marconi sent the rst wireless communication over water. It crossed the Bristol Channel from Lavernock Point to Flat Holm Island, 14 kilometers away. The message reads "Are you ready?"

History of Wireless

Development of Wireless Communication Systems

In 1934, AM mobile communication systems are set up for police in US. The technology of radio was greatly improved in World War II (e.g. matched lter based receiver) The rst public mobile phone service was launched in 26 major American cities. In 1960s and 1970s, the concept of cellular radiotelephony was proposed, mainly by Bell Lab guys.
