Home Book Shop Books by Ian Poole Adrio Communications ... Links Navigation:: Home Radio history >> this page Sir Edward Victor Appleton - the man interested in radio who proved the ionosphere existed and enabled an understanding of world wide radio signal propagation 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 received a Nobel prize in 1947 for his work, the technique for which laid the foundations for the development of radar. He became Sir Edward Appleton when he was knighted in 1941. Early years Edward Victor Appleton was born on 6th September 1892 in Bradford England. The city with is in Yorkshire was famous for its wool mills and was a centre of industry. Edward Appleton was the son of Peter and Mary Appleton. The young Appleton received his early education at Hanson Grammar School in Bradford. Initially he showed little interest in anything apart from music and cricket, although at the age of 18 he won a scholarship to St John's College, Cambridge University where he studied under famous names including Sir J J Thomson and Lord Rutherford. Appleton was very successful and not only did he win prizes for his work and ultimately gained a first class degree in Natural Sciences. Outbreak of War With the outbreak of the First World War, Edward Appleton joined the armed forces, initially with West Riding Regiment, but later transferring to the Royal Engineers. While in the army, he trained on the relatively new technology of radio or as it was called then "wireless". This obviously interested him considerably because after the cessation of hostilities he returned to Cambridge in 1920 and took up research on radio waves. Here Appleton started as an assistant demonstrator of physics under J J Thomson. He soon developed an interest in wireless or radio valves, as well as in the propagation of wireless or radio signals.

Sir Edward Victor Appleton Sir Edward Victor Appleton 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. Other ionospheric layers reflect radio waves sporadically, depending upon temperature and time of day. 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. There he attained international repute with his research into the propagation of electromagnetic waves and the characteristics of the ionosphere. He showed that radio waves of wavelength sufficiently short to penetrate the lower region of the ionosphere are reflected by an upper region (now known as the Appleton layer, or F2 layer). This discovery made possible more reliable long-range radio communication and aided in the development of radar. 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. He was knighted in 1941 and became principal and vice-chancellor of Edinburgh University in 1949.

HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL Edward Victor Appleton was born in Bradford, England, on 6th September, 1892, the son of Peter and Mary Appleton. He received his early education at Hanson Grammar School. Bradford then took his B.A. degree in Natural Science at St. John's College, Cambridge,, in 1913 and 1914, with physics for Part II. He won the Wiltshire Prize in 1913 and the Hutchinson Research Studentship in 1914, studying under Sir J.J. Thomson and Lord Rutherford . During the First World War he joined the West Riding Regiment, transferring later to the Royal Engineers. At the conclusion of hostilities he returned to Cambridge and took up research on radio waves. Since 1919 Appleton has devoted himself to scientific problems in atmospheric physics, using mainly radio techniques. In 1920 he was appointed assistant demonstrator in experimental physics at the Cavendish Laboratory. Two years later he became sub-rector at Trinity College. In 1924 Appleton was appointed Professor of Physics at London University and served there for twelve years, returning to Cambridge in 1936 to take the Chair of Natural Philosophy. In the latter part of 1924 Appleton began a series of experiments which proved the existence of that layer in the upper atmosphere now called the ionosphere. With the co-operation of the British Broadcasting Corporation the Bournemouth transmitter shot waves up to the layer to see if they were reflected by it and came back. The experiment was entirely successful, for the reflection was proved. Moreover, by a slight change of wavelength it was possible to measure the time taken by the waves to travel to the upper atmosphere and back. The position of the reflecting layer was thus identified and its height (60 miles above ground) determined. The method used was what is now called "frequency-modulation radar". The ionosphere was thus the first "object" detected by radiolocation, and this led to a great development of radio research and to a military invention of the greatest importance in World War IL
