The first commercial AM Audion vacuum tube radio transmitter, built in 1914 by Lee De Forest who invented the Audion in 1906 During the mid-1920s, amplifying vacuum tubes revolutionized radio receivers and transmitters .
Hertz published his results in a series of papers between 1887 and 1890, [46] and again in complete book form in 1893. [47] The first of the papers published, "On Very Rapid Electric Oscillations", gives an account of the chronological course of his investigation, as far as it was carried out up to the end of the year 1886 and the beginning of ...

1920s: Radio was first used to transmit pictures visible as television. 1926: Official Egyptian decree to regulate radio transmission stations and radio receivers. [40] Early 1930s: Single sideband (SSB) and frequency modulation (FM) were invented by amateur radio operators. By 1940, they were established commercial modes.
1922: J. McWilliams Stone invents the first portable radio receiver. George Frost builds the first "car radio" in his Ford Model T. 1923 The 15-year-old Manfred von Ardenne is granted his first patent for an electron tube having a plurality of electrodes. Siegmund Loewe (1885–1962) builds with the tube his first radio receiver "Loewe Opta-".
Dorman D. Israel, a young radio engineer from the University of Cincinnati, designed and built the station's first two radio transmitters (at 100 and 1,000 watts). [19] [20] The Crosley Corporation claimed that in 1928 WLW became the first 50-kilowatt commercial station in the United States with a regular broadcasting schedule. In 1934 Crosley ...
Braun contributed significantly to the development of radio when he invented the phased array antenna in 1905, [1] [2] which led to the development of radar, smart antennas and MIMO. He built the first cathode-ray tube, which led to the development of television. He also built the first semiconductor.
The first radio receivers invented by Marconi, Oliver Lodge and Alexander Popov in 1894–5 used a primitive radio wave detector called a coherer, invented in 1890 by Edouard Branly and improved by Lodge and Marconi. [1] [6] [9] [12] [16] [17] [18] The coherer was a glass tube with metal electrodes at each end, with loose metal powder between ...
