The invention of radio communication was preceded by many decades of establishing theoretical underpinnings, discovery and experimental investigation of radio waves, and engineering and technical developments related to their transmission and detection.
Guglielmo Marconi, an Italian inventor, is universally recognized as the brains behind the invention of the radio. Born in 1874 to an Italian father and an Irish mother, Marconi was intrigued by physics and electrical science from a young age.
Guglielmo Marconi (born April 25, 1874, Bologna, Italy—died July 20, 1937, Rome) was an Italian physicist and inventor of a successful wireless telegraph, or radio (1896). In 1909 he received the Nobel Prize for Physics, which he shared with German physicist Ferdinand Braun.
Early pioneers of radio science and technology in the United States including Charles Steinmetz, David Sarnoff, Irving Langmuir and Alfred Goldsmith in 1921, photographed next to the antenna feed wires of the New Brunswick Marconi Station, one of the first transatlantic radio links.
Many people consider Guglielmo Marconi the inventor of the radio. After all, he did get the Nobel Prize for it. But others credit Nikola Tesla because the Supreme Court upheld his patent for the invention of radio.
Italian inventor and engineer Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937) developed, demonstrated and marketed the first successful long-distance wireless telegraph and in 1901 broadcast the first...
Lee de Forest was the inventor of space telegraphy, the triode amplifier, and the Audion, an amplifying vacuum tube. In the early 1900s, the development of radio was hampered by the lack of an efficient detector of electromagnetic radiation.
Where was radio invented? The first practical wireless radio communication system was developed in Italy by Guglielmo Marconi. Marconi built on the mathematics of physicist James Clerk Maxwell and the experiments of both Oliver Lodge and Heinrich Hertz to transmit experimental broadcasts from the lab he built in 1894 at his family’s country villa.
In 1907, American inventor Lee De Forest introduced his patented Audion signal detector--which allowed radio frequency signals to be amplified dramatically. Another American inventor, Edwin...
Guglielmo Marconi was a Nobel Prize-winning physicist and inventor credited with the groundbreaking work necessary for all future radio technology.
