Summary: Sir Oliver Joseph Lodge was an English physicist whose investigations into electromagnetic radiation contributed to the development of radio communication. He identified electromagnetic radiation independent of Heinrich Hertz's proof. At his 1894 Royal Institution lectures, Lodge's demonstrations on methods to transmit and detect radio waves included an improved early radio receiver he named the "coherer". His work led to him holding key patents in early radio communication, his "syntonic" patents. Wikipedia
