Synopsis

Unlock the science and history behind wireless communication.

This classic work traces how early experiments, theoretical insights, and practical detectors shaped the birth of wireless telegraphy, connecting electricity, magnetism, and light into a single story.

The book surveys foundational ideas from Maxwell and Hertz, explains oscillations and wave propagation, and walks through key devices and experiments that defined the field. Readers will encounter discussions of detectors, crystal rectifiers, and the evolving understanding of electrical waves and their practical use in signaling.
  • Foundational theories that tie electricity, magnetism, and light together
  • Classic experiments that demonstrated oscillatory discharge and wave transmission
  • Descriptions of detectors and crystal contacts that enabled wireless signals
  • Progression from basic concepts to methods of emitting and receiving waves
Ideal for readers of science history and electrical engineering who want a clear, era-spanning view of how wireless telegraphy emerged and grew.
