Oliver Heaviside - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Heaviside advanced the idea of the Ionosphere, making the prediction of the Kennelly-Heaviside Layer. Heaviside showed mathematically that uniformly distributed inductance in a telegraph line would diminish both attenuation and distortion, and that, if the inductance were great enough and the insulation resistance not too high, the circuit would be distortionless while currents of all frequencies would be equally attenuated. Heaviside was born in London's Camden Town, He was short and red-headed, and suffered from scarlet fever during his youth, the illness having a lasting impact on him, leaving him partly deaf. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Oliver_Heaviside   (1105 words)

F region - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia also called the Appleton layer, is a region containing ionized gases in the Earth’s upper atmosphere, at a height of 150–400 km above the E region (formerly the Kennelly-Heaviside layer). The principal reflecting layer during the summer for paths of 2,000 to 3,500 km is the F layer is the principal reflecting layer for HF communications during both day and night. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/F_region   (253 words)

Kennelly-Heaviside layer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Kennelly-Heaviside layer, also known as the E region or just as the Heaviside layer, named after Oliver Heaviside, is a layer of ionised gas occurring at 90-150km in above the ground — one of several layers in the Earth's ionosphere. The "Heaviside layer" is used as a symbol for heaven (in the afterlife sense) in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Cats. Its existence was predicted in 1902 independently and almost simultaneously by the American electrical engineer Arthur Edwin Kennelly (1861-1939) and the British physicist Oliver Heaviside (1850-1925). www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Kennelly-Heaviside_Layer   (345 words)

BBC - History - Sir Edward Appleton (1892 - 1965) In 1902 Oliver Heaviside and A.E.Kennelly had independently postulated the theory of a conducting layer of the atmosphere: the Kennelly-Heaviside Layer. He found that this layer reflected back shorter wavelengths in daytime as well as at night, and that they were reflected back with greater strength than the Heaviside layer. Appleton went on to discover that the moon as well as the sun affected the height of the layers, and further showed that the layer was strongly influenced by the earth's magnetic field and that the polar blackouts were caused by magnetic storms. www.bbc.co.uk /history/historic_figures/appleton_edward.shtml   (707 words)

Arthur Kennelly, electrical engineer The layer thus became known as the Kennelly-Heaviside layer (now called the E region of the ionosphere). British physicist and electrician Oliver Heaviside (1850-1925) independently and almost simultaneously published his theory of probable existence of a high atmospheric layer of ionized gas, that enables radio waves to follow the curvature of the earth. Kennelly was one of Edison's closest associates for A.C. and electro-magnetic studies. www.todayinsci.com /K/Kennelly_Arthur/Kennelly_Arthur.htm   (951 words)

IEEE History Center - Legacies: Arthur E. Kennelly Independently of Oliver Heaviside, Kennelly proposed the existence of an ionized layer in the upper atmosphere, now known as the Kennelly-Heaviside layer, as the reflecting surface which made transoceanic wireless communication possible. Kennelly was retained in 1902 by the Mexican government to be in charge of the laying of the Vera Cruz-Frontera-Campeche cables. Kennelly was the recipient of the awards of many nations, including the IEE Institution Premium (1887), the Franklin Institute Howard Potts Gold Medal (1917), the Cross of a Chevalier of the Legion d'Honneur of France and the AIEE Edison Medal (1933) www.ieee.org /organizations/history_center/legacies/kennelly.html   (426 words)

AllRefer.com - Oliver Heaviside (Physics, Biography) - Encyclopedia The same conclusion was reached independently by Arthur E. Kennelly; its existence was proven, and it is known both as the Kennelly-Heaviside layer and as the Heaviside layer. He suggested (1902) the existence of a layer in the upper atmosphere responsible for altering the path of certain radio waves and thus making possible long-distance transmission of signals.

Heaviside, Oliver In 1902 he predicted the existence of an ionized layer of air in the upper atmosphere, which was known as the Kennelly-Heaviside layer but is now called the E layer of the ionosphere. When Heaviside became involved with the passage of electricity along conductors, he modified Ohm's law to include inductance and this, together with other electrical properties, resulted in his derivation of the equation of telegraphy. On considering the problem of signal distortion in a telegraph cable, he came to the conclusion that this could be substantially reduced by the addition of small inductance coils throughout its length, and this method has since been used to great effect. www.cartage.org.lb /en/themes/biographies/mainbiographies/h/heaviside/1.html   (212 words)

Adventures in CyberSound: Heaviside, Oliver W. In 1902 Heaviside correctly predicted the existence of the ionosphere, an electrically conducting layer in the atmosphere, by means of which radio signals are transmitted around the earth's curvature. This layer in the atmosphere, the Heaviside Layer, is named after him. In 1902 Heaviside predicted that there was an conducting layer in the atmosphere which allowed radio waves to follow the Earth's curvature. www.acmi.net.au /AIC/HEAVISIDE_BIO.html   (3355 words)

Kennelly-Heaviside Layer (Ionosphere) - April 21st Fact-of-the-Day The idea of an electrically-conducting Kennelly-Heaviside layer about 50-miles high that would return radio waves to earth was generally accepted from shortly after that time until 1924 when the basic theory was proven and expanded to include higher regions of ionized particles. The existence of the ionosphere was independently surmised by Arthur E. Kennelly in the United States and Oliver Heaviside in England in 1902. The ionosphere has been a subject of intense interest, theoretical analysis, and practical investigation ever since. www.smeter.net /daily-facts/4/fact21.php   (127 words)

Timeline: From the January 30, 1932, issue, Science News Online, Feb. 2, 2002 The energy that can be concentrated into a narrow radio beam is sufficient to pierce the Kennelly-Heaviside layer in the outer atmosphere, which reflects back to Earth the longer waves in common use, Dr. Mouromtseff thinks. “It is conceivable,” he stated, “that the power we have succeeded in getting into our 42-centimenter beam is sufficient to pierce the Kennelly-Heaviside layer and travel the 35,000,000 miles to Mars. This is the belief of Dr. I.E. Mouromtseff, research engineer of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, who has been directing the output from a short-wave transmitter as if it were the beam of a searchlight, sending it from the top of one building here to the roof of another more than a mile away. www.sciencenews.org /articles/20020202/timeline.asp   (564 words)
