Memorial of Heinrich Hertz on the campus of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, which translates as At this site, Heinrich Hertz discovered electromagnetic waves in the years 1885–1889 In 1881 and 1882, Hertz published two articles [ 34 ] [ 35 ] [ 36 ] on what was to become known as the field of contact mechanics , which proved to be an ...
Before the discovery of electromagnetic waves and the development of radio communication, there were many wireless telegraph systems proposed and tested. [4] In April 1872 William Henry Ward received U.S. patent 126,356 for a wireless telegraphy system where he theorized that convection currents in the atmosphere could carry signals like a telegraph wire.

German physicist Heinrich Hertz in 1887 built the first experimental spark gap transmitters during his historic experiments to demonstrate the existence of electromagnetic waves predicted by James Clerk Maxwell in 1864, in which he discovered radio waves, [23] [24]: p.3-4 [25] [17]: p.19, 260, 331–332 which were called "Hertzian waves" until ...
Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (1856–1894) proved the existence of electromagnetic radiation. In an 1864 presentation, published in 1865, James Clerk Maxwell proposed theories of electromagnetism and mathematical proofs demonstrating that light, radio and x-rays were all types of electromagnetic waves propagating through free space.
In 1887, German physicist Heinrich Hertz demonstrated the reality of Maxwell's electromagnetic waves by experimentally generating electromagnetic waves lower in frequency than light, radio waves, in his laboratory, [6] showing that they exhibited the same wave properties as light: standing waves, refraction, diffraction, and polarization.
In 1886–1888 the German physicist Heinrich Hertz conducted his series of experiments that proved the existence of electromagnetic waves (including radio waves), predicted in equations developed in 1862–4 by the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell.
“The object we’ve discovered is spinning way too slowly to produce radio waves — it’s below the death line,” Hurley-Walker said. “Assuming it’s a magnetar, it shouldn’t be possible ...
Following Hertz's discovery of the existence of radio waves in 1886, the term Hertzian waves was initially used for this radiation. [11] The first practical radio communication systems, developed by Marconi in 1894–1895, transmitted telegraph signals by radio waves, [4] so radio communication was first called wireless telegraphy.
