(TENTATIVE, CHANGE-IN-DATE) The IEEE Technical Session on Antennas and Propagation: A Demonstration of Hertz's Experiments
(TENTATIVE, CHANGE-IN-DATE) In this IEEE Technical Session, Dr. Ted Simpson and Dr. James Anderson, senior electrical engineering professors and IEEE members, will engage the audience in a discussion and demonstration of Hertz’s experiments of antennas and propagation, which proved electricity can be transmitted in electromagnetic waves and which made possible the inventions of radio, television, and radar. Hertz, of course, is Dr. Heinrich Hertz, professor of Physics, the University of Bonn, Germany. IEEE memorializes Hertz this way: “Hertz first verified Maxwell’s equations and prediction of electromagnetic waves in 1886-1888. He observed the reflection, refraction and polarization of the waves and, moreover, the equality of their velocity of propagation with the velocity of light. His 450 MHz transmitter and receiver demonstrated the fundamentals of high-frequency technology.” Dr. Simpson will present replicas of Hertz’s technology and demonstrate Hertz's experiments.
