    Crystal radio was invented by a long, partly obscure chain of discoveries in the late 19th century that gradually evolved into more and more practical radio receivers in the early 20th century. The earliest practical use of crystal radio was to receive Morse code radio signals transmitted from spark-gap transmitters by early amateur radio ...

    The first radio receivers invented by Marconi, Oliver Lodge and Alexander Popov in 1894–5 used a primitive radio wave detector called a coherer, invented in 1890 by Edouard Branly and improved by Lodge and Marconi. [1] [6] [9] [12] [16] [17] [18] The coherer was a glass tube with metal electrodes at each end, with loose metal powder between ...

    The circuit of a coherer receiver, that recorded the received code on a Morse paper tape recorder. Unlike modern AM radio stations that transmit a continuous radio frequency, whose amplitude (power) is modulated by an audio signal, the first radio transmitters transmitted information by wireless telegraphy (radiotelegraphy), the transmitter was turned on and off (on-off keying) to produce ...

    The crystal radio was the first type of radio receiver that was used by the general public, [1] and became the most widely used type of radio until the 1920s. [17] It became obsolete with the development of vacuum tube receivers around 1920, [ 2 ] [ 1 ] but continued to be used until World War II and remains a common educational project today ...

    However, as radio technology expanding, navigation is easier to use, and it provides a better position. Although there are many advantages, the radio navigation systems often comes with complex equipment such as the radio compass receiver, compass indicator, or the radar plan position indicator. All of these require users to obtain certain ...
