Antenna (radio) the focal point of parabolic reflectors for both transmitting and receiving. He published his work in "Annalen der Physik und Chemie" (vol. 36, 1889). The words "antenna" and "aerial" are used interchangeably. Occasionally the term "aerial" is used to mean a wire antenna. The origin of the word "antenna" relative to wireless apparatus is attributed to Italian radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi. In the summer of 1895, Marconi began testing his wireless system outdoors on his father's estate near Bologna and soon began to experiment with long wire "aerials" suspended from a pole. In Italian a tent pole is known as
History of radio changing its software program. Digital transmissions began to be applied to broadcasting in the late 1990s. Around the start of the 20th century, the Slaby-Arco wireless system was developed by Adolf Slaby and Georg von Arco. In 1900, Reginald Fessenden made a weak transmission of voice over the airwaves. In 1901, Marconi conducted the first successful transatlantic experimental radio communications. In 1904, The U.S. Patent Office reversed its decision, awarding Marconi a patent for the invention of radio, possibly influenced by Marconi's financial backers in the States, who included Thomas Edison and Andrew Carnegie. This also allowed the U.S. government
