MARCONI, GUGLIELMO

G. Marconi was born in 1874. His father was Italian and his mother Irish. Together with A. Popov he is known as the father of wireless telegraph system. When a young man, he developed a deep interest in electrical phenomena. He graduated from the technical school in Italy, where studying physics, he had opportunities for experimenting with electromagnetic waves.

Marconi was among those who became interested in the works of Hem- rich Hertz on electromagnetic waves. His idea was that such waves could be used for transmitting information without the need for the wire connection, and he started his wireless telegraphy project by repeating some of the Hertz’s experiments with a number of improvements.

His work being completed, Marconi offered his wireless communication system to the Italian government, but it was rejected. In 1896, he went to London where he first patented his system. In 1897, he formed his wireless telegraph company. His four-circuit tuning, patented in 1900, led to widespread use of his system. While making experiments, Marconi gave a series of demonstrations, in some of which he used balloons and kites to obtain greater height for the aerials he used.

As an Italian national, Marconi played an active role in World War I and represented Italy at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. He continued his experiments in the field of radio but his later efforts were mainly directed to affairs of state. He received many honors and shared the Nobel Prize for physics in 1909. Marconi died in Rome in July, 1937. ~ 1300
