History of Wireless

Important new insights into how various components and systems
evolved

Premised on the idea that one cannot know a science without
knowing its history, History of Wireless offers a lively new
treatment that introduces previously unacknowledged pioneers and
developments, setting a new standard for understanding the
evolution of this important technology.

Starting with the background-magnetism, electricity, light, and
Maxwell's Electromagnetic Theory-this book offers new insights into
the initial theory and experimental exploration of wireless. In
addition to the well-known contributions of Maxwell, Hertz, and
Marconi, it examines work done by Heaviside, Tesla, and passionate
amateurs such as the Kentucky melon farmer Nathan Stubblefield and
the unsung hero Antonio Meucci. Looking at the story from
mathematical, physics, technical, and other perspectives, the
clearly written text describes the development of wireless within a
vivid scientific milieu.

History of Wireless also goes into other key areas,
including:

* The work of J. C. Bose and J. A. Fleming

* German, Japanese, and Soviet contributions to physics and
applications of electromagnetic oscillations and waves

* Wireless telegraphic and telephonic development and attempts to
achieve transatlantic wireless communications

* Wireless telegraphy in South Africa in the early twentieth
century

* Antenna development in Japan: past and present

* Soviet quasi-optics at near-mm and sub-mm wavelengths

* The evolution of electromagnetic waveguides

* The history of phased array antennas

Augmenting the typical, Marconi-centered approach, History of
Wireless fills in the conventionally accepted story with
attention to more specific, less-known discoveries and individuals,
and challenges traditional assumptions about the origins and growth
of wireless. This allows for a more comprehensive understanding of
how various components and systems evolved. Written in a clear tone
with a broad scientific audience in mind, this exciting and
thorough treatment is sure to become a classic in the field.
