Early Days of Radio: A Bit of History2

(1820 - 1870) Oerstedt, Amphere, Faraday, Maxwell

developed the theoritical basis for the radio revolution.

Oerstedt: Flowing currents induce magnetic fields

Amphere: mutual forces between current carrying conductors
Faraday: Magnetism could be transformed in electricity
Maxwell: Unified the concepts
Hertz (1857 - 1894): Demonstrated the Maxwell predictions

History of the Radio
The history of radio can be

traced through the lives odf

Maxwell
Hertz
Heavyside
Marconi
DeForest
Armstrong
Farnsworth
Sarnoff
James Clerk Maxwell (1831 - 1879)
Unified Electric and

Magnetic Theory
Predicted Electromagnetic
Wave Propagation
Theorized that light was an

electromagnetic wave
Heinrich Hertz (1857 - 1894)
Experimentally verified
Maxwells Theories
Generated and propagated

radio waves
Built first transmitter,

anteena, and receiver
appratus
Guglielmo Marconi
The inventor of radio
Improved and
commercialized Hertzs
apparatus, used for radio
telegraphy
Among the first radio

engineers.
Oliver Heavyside (1850 - 1925)
Heavyside was perhaps the

first true electrical engineer
He was an odd recluse, who

was entirely self taught
Although unappreciated in
his time, he provided
mathematical solutions to
important problems
Among his accomplishments

are transmission line theory
and Heavyside transforms
Lee DeForest (1873 - 1961)
Invented the audion

vacuum tube
Allowed for amplification

and detection
Led to first transmission of

voice and music
Edwin Howard Armstrong (1890 - 1954)
Perhaps the greatest EE in

the history
Inventor of the:
I
I
I
I
feedback amplifier
electronic oscillator
super-hetrodyne receiver
FM radio
These inventions allowed for

the transmission of voice
and music
His ideas are still widely

used today !!!
Philo T. Farnsworth (1907 - 1971)
Inventor of electronic
television
Largely self-taught
Developed initial design

while in high school
A victim of bad timing and

small capital
David Sarnoff (RCA Mastermind, 1891 - 1971)
Began as telegraph operator

for Marconi
Originated idea of
broadcasting
Became president of the

Radio Corporation of
America
Was not an Engineer - and

the only guy who becomes
really wealthy!
The wireless music box has no

imaginable commercial value. Who
would pay for a message sent to
nobody in particular ? Regrettable Quote from the
associates of David Sarnoff
Birth of the Radio
First transmission at Villa Griffone (Italy), in 1885.
Transmission across Altantic Ocean, in 1901.
In 1896, Marconi was awarded the British patent

12039:Improvements in transmitting electrical impulses and
signals and in apparatus therefor, for radio.
The famous 7777 (four-sevens) patent:Improvements in

appratus for wireless telephony was issued to Marconis
Wireless Telegraph Company3 , on April 26, 1901.

Patent 7777
The 1904 U.S. version of the 7777 patent, US patent No.

763,772, was found to be invalid in a celebrated 1943
Supreme Court decision. There are some that claim this
decision affirmed Nikolai Tesla as the inventor of radio.
