English - English

Definition of guglielmo marconi in English English dictionary: an Italian electrical engineer who most people think of as the inventor of radio. He invented the method of sending radio signals called 'wireless telegraphy'. Before this, it had only been possible to send messages along wires. He won the Nobel prize for physics in 1909 (1874-1937). born April 25, 1874, Bologna, Italy died July 20, 1937, Rome Italian physicist and inventor. He began experimenting with radio waves in 1894. In 1896 he went to England, where he developed a successful system of radio telegraphy. His work on the development of shortwave wireless communication constitutes the basis of nearly all modern radio broadcasting. His improved aerials greatly extended the range of radio signaling. In 1899 he established communication across the English Channel. In 1900 he established the American Marconi Co. In 1901 he sent signals across the Atlantic for the first time. He acquired numerous patents, though probably his most famous one, No. 7777, for an apparatus that enabled several stations to operate on different wavelengths without interference, was later overturned. Marconi shared the 1909 Nobel Prize for Physics with K. Ferdinand Braun (1850-1918). He was made a marquis and was nominated to the Italian Senate (1929), and he was elected president of the Royal Italian Academy (1930); {i} (1874-1937) Italian electrical engineer and physicist, inventor of radio communication, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1909, often referred to as the "father of radio
