  • lee de forest

    lee de forest
    In 1906 Lee invented the Audion the first triode vacuum tube and the first electrical device which could amplify a weak electrical signal and make it stronger. The Audion made possible for radio broadcasting, television, and long distance telephone service, among many other applications.
  • Charles David Herrold

    Charles David Herrold
    an electronics instructor in San Jose, California constructed a broadcasting station. It used spark gap technology, but modulated the carrier frequency with the human voice, and later music. The station "San Jose Calling" continued to eventually become today's KCBS in San Francisco.
  • Ferdinand Braun

    During the mid 1920s amplifying vacuum tubes revolutionized radio receivers and transmitters. John Ambrose Fleming developed an earlier tube known as an "oscillation valve".
  • crystals set

    crystals set
    The most common type of receiver before vacuum tubes was the crystal set, although some early radios used some type of amplification through electric current or battery. Inventions of the triode amplifier, motor-generator, and detector enabled audio radio.
  • FM and television start

    FM and television start
    In 1933, FM radio was patented by inventor Edwin H. Armstrong. FM uses frequency modulation of the radio wave to reduce static and interference from electrical equipment and the atmosphere. After World War II, the FM radio broadcast was introduced in Germany.
