 OTB - "Forgotten" Pioneers of Wireless, Part 5 - Karl Ferdinand Braun
Braun found that the crystal detector provided no improvement over the coherer when the wireless telegraphy messages were automatically recorded on a moving strip of paper, as was the normal practice at the time.
Braun then reduced the number of antenna wires and poles to three and was able to excite the wires from a common transmitter by arranging the poles in an equilateral triangular pattern.
Braun made a modification in the layout of the circuit for the dispatch of electrical waves so that it was possible to produce intense waves with very little damping.

Braun is also known as the developer of the cathode ray oscilloscope, the precursor to the radar screen and the television tube.
Braun's first investigations were concerned with oscillations of strings and elastic rods, especially with regard to the influence of the amplitude and environment of rods on their oscillations.
Braun was made Professor of Physics at the Technische Hochschule in Karlsruhe in 1883 and was finally invited by the University of Tübingen in 1885; one of his tasks there was to build a new Physics Institute.

Ferndinand Braun war der Sohn eines hessischen Beamten, er besuchte ein Gymnasium in Fulda, bevor er 1868 an der Universität Marburg sein Studium der Mathematik und Naturwissenschaften begann.
Braun galt unter seinen Studenten als Meister des verständlichen Vortrags und des auch für Laien spektakulären Experiments, ein Stil, der sich in seinem locker, teilweise humorig verfassten Lehrbuch „Der junge Mathematiker und Naturforscher“ fortsetzte, welches ab 1875 in zahlreichen Auflagen erschien.
Braun gehörte zu den Mitbegründern der Funkentelegrafie GmbH in Köln (1898) und der Gesellschaft für drahtlose Telegrafie Telefunken in Berlin (1903).

 VIAS Encyclopedia: Karl Ferdinand Braun
Karl Ferdinand Braun was born on June 6, 1850, in Fulda as a son of a court official.
The principle of his transmitter, on which the modern communications technology, including radio and television, drew, was based on the separation into a non-radiating primary system (consisting of resonant circuit and spark gap) and a secondary system for radiation over an antenna.
In 1913, Braun conducted the first absolute field strength measurement with a coil aerial of the transmitter on Paris Eiffel Tower.

Braun is best known for his invention of the first oscilloscope (an electronic instrument that displays changes in the voltage of an electric circuit) made out of a cathode-ray tube (CRT), but he also contributed much to the study of electricity and telegraphy, or wireless communication (see Radio), through groundbreaking research and inventions.
Born in Fulda, Braun studied at the University of Marburg and received his doctorate from the University of Berlin in 1872, after a dissertation on the vibrations of elastic rods and strings.
Braun gained notoriety outside the laboratory as well when he was called to the United States in 1914 to testify in litigation involving radio broadcasting.

As an experimenter and physicist, Braun is most famous for his invention of the cathode ray oscilloscope (the forerunner of the television tube and radar tubes) and for his contributions to wireless telegraphy (that is, radio).
Braun discovered that a stream of electrons emanating from a negatively charged electrode inside a vacuum tube—a cathode ray—could be focused to a point at the end of the tube.
