  Radio-Electronics.Com :: Sir Edward Victor Appleton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
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.
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.
Appleton realized that the reflections in this experiment could have conceivably been caused by reflections from distant hills or other objects, although if this were so it would not explain the fading of the radio signals that was observed.

 Sir Edward Victor Appleton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
British winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1947 for his discovery of the so-called Appleton layer of the ionosphere, which is a dependable reflector of radio waves and as such is useful in communication.
Educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, Appleton worked at the Cavendish Laboratory from 1920 until he was appointed Wheatstone professor of physics at King's College, University of London, in 1924.
In 1936 Appleton returned to Cambridge as Jacksonian professor of natural philosophy and in 1939 became secretary of the government's Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, where he worked on radar and the atomic bomb during World War II.
