WHAT IS AN ANTENNA? 📶📡 Who invented antenna? There's no easy answer to that question because radio evolved into a useful technology through the second half of the 19th century, thanks to the work of quite a few different people—both theoretical scientists and practical experimenters. Who were these pioneers? Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell figured out a theory of radio around 1864, and Heinrich Hertz proved that radio waves really did exist about 20 years later (they were called Hertzian waves in his honor for some time afterward). Several years later, at a meeting in Oxford, England on August 14, 1894, English physicist, Oliver Lodge, demonstrated how radio waves could be used for signalling from one room to another in what he later described (in his 1932 autobiography) as "a very infantile kind of radio-telegraphy." Lodge filed a US patent for "electric telegraphy" on February 1, 1898, describing apparatus for "an operator, by means of what i...
