Arthur E. Kennelly

Arthur E. Kennelly was an influential American physicist and engineer known for his contributions to the understanding of electromagnetic waves and radio technology. He is particularly noted for the "Kennelly-Heaviside layer," a region in the Earth's atmosphere that reflects radio waves, enabling long-distance communication by allowing signals to bounce back to the ground. Kennelly's work laid the groundwork for modern wireless communication and advancements in radar technology, helping shape the way we interact with information and technology in today's world. His research significantly impacted the fields of telecommunications and electromagnetic theory.
