Radio pioneer Arthur Edwin Kennelly, the son of an Irish naval officer, was born in Colaba, India (near Bombay), on 17 December 1861.
Kennelly also had a career in academia—he was a Professor of Electrical Engineering both at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and was a research associate at the Carnegie-Mellon Institute.
Kennelly is also known for the contributions he made to the analysis of alternating-current (AC) circuits with the publication of his paper “Impedance.” In that paper he described the first use of complex numbers as applied to Ohm's Law in AC circuit theory.

Arthur Edwin Kennelly was born on December 17, 1861 in India, where his father worked for the British East India Company.
Kennelly was educated at several schools in Britain and continental Europe.
In 1887, Kennelly moved to the U.S. and spent the next six years as one of Thomas Edison's top assistants, an experience he described as "the greatest inspiration of my life." In 1894 he co-founded his own company, an electrical consulting firm.

Kennelly was one of Edison's closest associates for A.C. and electro-magnetic studies.
The following year Kennelly deduced that the reason Marconi's radio waves were able to transmit across the distance of the Atlantic Ocean was that the signals were being reflected back to Earth from an ionized layer in the upper atmosphere acting like a radio mirror or roof.
Kennelly was appointed Professor of Electrical Engineering at Harvard (1902-30) and occasionally (1913-24) taught as Professor of Electrical Engineering at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).

The notion of a conducting region was reinvoked by others notably in 1902 by the American engineer Arthur E. Kennelly (1861 - 1939) and the British physicist Oliver Heaviside (1850 - 1925) to explain the transmission of radio signals around the curve of the Earth's surface, before definitive evidence was obtained in 1925.
The particles ionized are mainly molecular nitrogen and molecular and atomic oxygen, but at a height of about 1000 km, there is a region in which hydrogen nuclei (protons) constitute the dominant ionic species.

 Adventures in CyberSound: Heaviside, Oliver W.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In 1902 the American electrical engineer Arthur Edwin Kennelly and the British physicist and electrician Oliver W. Heaviside independently and almost simultaneously announce the probable existence of a layer of ionised gas, high in the atmosphere, that affects the propogation of radio waves and enables them to follow the curvature of the earth.
The ionosphere is the part of the Earth's upper atmosphere where ions and electrons are present in quantities sufficient to affect the propagation of radio waves.
In 1885, William H. Preece and Arthur West Heaviside (Oliver's brother) sent signals to one another at a distance of 1,000 yards with two parallel telegraph lines and an unwired telephone receiver in the middle.
