	Edward Victor Appleton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir Edward Victor Appleton (September 6, 1892 – April 21, 1965) was an English physicist.
		In his work, Appleton had observed that the strength of the radio signal from a transmitter a on a frequency such as the medium wave band and over a path of a hundred miles or so was constant during the day but that it varied during the night.

		Sir Edward Victor Appleton was one of the key figures of the twentieth century who contributed to the knowledge of radio and the ionosphere and hence improved our knowledge of the way in which radio waves propagate in the HF portion of the spectrum.
		Edward Appleton was the son of Peter and Mary Appleton.
		Additionally Appleton had observed that the strength of the radio signal from a transmitter a on a frequency such as the medium wave band and over a path of a hundred miles or so was constant during the day but varied during the night, rising and falling in a regular manner.

	PSEWEB: Professor Peter Excell - Sir Edward Appleton Trust
		Sir Edward Appleton, Nobel prizewinner, and widely recognized as the discoverer of the Ionosphere, was born in 1892 in the city of Bradford.
		Edward Victor Appleton was born on 6 September 1892 in a small ‘back to back’ terraced house in the Barkerend district of Bradford, the eldest of three children.
		Appleton devised an elegantly simple experiment to prove the existence of the layer, and to determine its height, by monitoring variations in signal strength as the frequency of a commercial transmitter was varied.

		He used the new British Broadcasting Company's transmitter at Bournemouth on the south coast of England, varying a signal at a constant rate (after broadcasting hours) so that interference between the direct waves from the ground and the reflected waves from the sky produced the regular fading in and out of the radio waves.
		Having proved that the Kennelly-Heaviside layer of ionization really existed, Appleton continued to work on electromagnetic waves and what happened to them in the ionosphere.

		"The ionosphere," a colleague once said of Sir Edward, "is his playground." He proved the theory that the earth is circled by electrically charged layers in the upper atmosphere, came to know more about them than any man alive (there is an Appleton layer, usually about 140 miles above the earth*).
		His researches made possible the development of radar, won him a knighthood and the 1947 Nobel Prize in physics.

		For some years the ion-rich region was referred to as the Kennelly-Heaviside layer (now called the E region of the ionosphere).
		This layer is also called the Appleton layer after Sir Edward Victor Appleton (1892-1965) for his investigations of the physics of the upper atmosphere especially for the discovery of the so called Appleton layer.
		The E and F regions are responsible for the long distance propagation, by reflection, of radio signals in the short wave and broadcast bands.
