But where did anyone get the idea that radio waves existed in the first place, and that they could be harnessed for wireless communication? It’s a fascinating story that continues to unfold to this day. Let’s go back to the beginning to understand how this technology has evolved.

Since the earliest attempts at jamming radio communications, techniques have been developed to counteract enemy ECM.
