�Any form of communication that does not require the

transmitter and receiver to be in physical contact

�Electromagnetic wave propagated through free-space

�Radar, RF, Microwave, IR, Optical

History of wireless History of wireless communicationcommunication

� 1896: Marconi � first demonstration of wireless telegraphy � tx of radio waves to a ship at sea 29 km away � long wave transmission, high power req. (200 kW and +)

� 1907 Commercial transatlantic connections

Giuseppe Bianchi, Ilenia Tinnirello

� 1907 Commercial transatlantic connections� huge ground stations (30 by100m antennas)

� 1915: Wireless telephony established � NY – S. Francisco� Virginia and Paris

� 1920 Marconi:� Discovery of short waves (< 100m)� reflection at the ionosphere� (cheaper) smaller sender and receiver, possible due to the invention of the

vacuum tube (1906, Lee DeForest and Robert von Lieben)
