History of Inventions and Innovations Radio


History of Inventions and Innovations Radio

The history of invention and innovation following the radio I quoted from various sources, including Wikipedia. It feels less afdol when we mengdengarkan radio every day but do not know the origin of the radio itself.

Radio is a technology used for signal transmission and modulation by electromagnetic radiation (electromagnetic waves). This wave passes and travel by air and can also travel through the vacuum of space, because this wave does not require the carrier medium (such as air molecules).

Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation, and is formed when electrically charged objects is modulated (increased frequency) at frequencies contained in the radio frequency (RF) in an electromagnetic spectrum. These radio waves are in the range of 10 hertz (Hz) to several gigahertz (GHz), and electromagnetic radiation moves by way of oscillating electric and magnetic.

Other electromagnetic waves, which have frequencies above the radio waves include gamma rays, X-rays, infrared, ultraviolet, and visible light. When the radio waves transmitted through the cable, the oscillation of electric and magnetic fields are expressed in the form of alternating current and voltage on the cable. This can then be converted into an audio signal or any other that carries information.

Although the word 'radio' is used for matters relating to the receiver of sound waves, but wave transmission is used as the basis of the wave on television, radio, radar and cell phones in general.

Basic theory of electromagnetic wave propagation was first described in 1873 by James Clerk Maxwell in his paper at the Royal Society about the dynamics of electromagnetic field theory (in English: A dynamical theory of the electromagnetic field), based on the results of her research work between 1861 and 1865.

In 1878, David E. Hughes was the first to transmit and receive radio waves when he found that the induction balance caused disruption to phone product. He demonstrated his discovery to the Royal Society in 1880 but only say it was just an induction.

Is Heinrich Rudolf Hertz who, between 1886 and 1888, the first time to prove Maxwell's theory through experiment, demonstrating that radio radiation had all the wave properties (now called Hertzian waves), and found that the electromagnetic equations can be formulated into a partial differential equation called the wave equation.

Many of the early use of the maritime radio, for sending telegraphic messages using Morse code between ships and land. One of the early users included the Japanese Navy spy on the Russian fleet at the Battle of Tsushima in 1901. One use of the most memorable was at the time of the sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912, including communications between operators on a sinking ship and nearby ships, and communication to ground stations to register the saved.

Radio used to channel commands and communications between the Army and Navy on both sides in World War II, Germany uses radio communications for diplomatic messages when the underwater cable is cut by the British. United States convey Fourteen Principal President Woodrow Wilson to Germany via radio during the war.

Press start to be done in the 1920s, with the popularity of radio, especially in Europe and the United States. In addition to the broadcast, broadcast point-to-point, including phone and re-broadcast radio program, became popular in the 1920s and the 1930s.

Role Marconi

World of radio innovation record the names Guglielmo Marconi, the inventor of radio. He was born in Bologna, Italy, April 25, 1874. His father, Giuseppe Marconi authentic Italian farmer and his mother, Annie Jameson is the son of the owner of Daphne Castle in Ireland, who was signed as a British territory. He went to Bologna, Florence, and Leghorn.

Since childhood he was interested in working Maxwell, Hertz, Righi, until the Lodge. In the age of 21 years, 1895, he made a laboratory in his father's house, in Pontecchio. He conducted research about radio waves - when it referred to as "Hertzian Waves" - to send a telegraph signal. It was only through the telegraph wires. He has managed to send a telegraph signal for a distance of about 2 kilometers. Findings radio practically in the doorway so he asked for the support of Post and Telegraph Department of Italian. But the bureaucrats are not interested in Italy, even closing the door for him.

Marconi did not despair, a year later he contacted the British Postal Service. William Preece, chief engineer Postal Service England, Marconi was willing to meet with him and who later came to showcase his creations radio capability on the plains of Salisbury and, later, across the Bristol Channel. Preece was impressed, and eventually founded the company Marconi Wireless Telegraph & Signal The Company Limited in 1897, which later transforms into Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Company Limited.

In two years, 1899, he has built a radio between France and Britain, followed later between the U.S. and Britain.

Over a decade until 1912, he patented a number of findings to improve the radio system he created. In 1909 he received the Nobel Prize in physics.

In 1914, Marconi was called into the Italian Army. He became a diplomat Italy to America in 1917.

Once the government no longer part of Italy, he returned to the laboratory. By World War II, in 1935, he demonstrated the latest findings, namely Radar. Two years later, July 20, 1937, Marconi died in Rome.

Role Howard

Edwin Howard Armstrong was recorded as the inventor of FM radio. He was born on December 18, 1890 in New York City. His father was publisher of books and his mother a teacher. At the age of 14 years, Armstrong read a book written by Marconi telegraph. He was very impressed with Marconi, just that he wanted to improve the creation Marconi radio. So Armstrong had intended to make clear-voiced radio while making their own radio station at his home. To that end, Armstrong entered the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University. He graduated and became a great teacher and electrical engineer.

In 1912, Armstrong managed to make a regenerative circuit and feedback circuit. He also studied a hollow tube made of De Forest, who named trioda and audion. Later, Armstrong combines its discovery, with a hollow tube made of De Forest. The results of the exit tube sound a thousand times more clear.

Unfortunately, De Forest's invention is considered his property. They fight the copyright, for 14 years in court. Finally, De Forest becomes the winner, because judges do not understand the science of electricity.
But scientists still think Armstrong was the inventor of the circuit and FM radio. He was awarded the Franklin Medal and was nicknamed "Father of Circuit". On February 1, 1954, Armstrong died in New York. He was synchronized with the old inventor, in the field of electricity such as Amphere and Bell.

Sasando, traditional musical instruments


Sasando, traditional musical instruments that originated from the island of Rote, East Nusa Tenggara, one might say almost drowned in traffic or the music industry today. Stringed instrument which became one of the important sound property in the archipelago that is hardly heard by audiences in their own country.

PROPERTY sound stored in the maestro Sasando following will be displayed in music performance-Quantum Megalithic on June 29 to 30 next at the Jakarta Convention Center.

Sasando of the material may seem simple. Traditional Sasando using nine strings attached to a bamboo tube. That's why he is classified as a type of tube-tube zither-siter. As a resonator, used young palm leaves that were held together to form a cavity half-circle. Equipment that is played by lap and plucked with the fingers both hands.

In the treasure of sound in the archipelago, including the unique Sasando. Instruments with the system scales heksatobik or six tone has a melody that sounded another style compared to other music in Indonesia.

"The melody using downward force, descending movement, which is reminiscent of the African style. This is unique to Indonesia. It should be heard and appreciated," said Siagian about Sasando Rizaldi ethnomusicologists and traditional compositions.

Similar tubes siter Sasando found in Southeast Asia, such as the Philippines, Vietnam, and Malaysia, which produces a lot of bamboo. A number of places in Indonesia are also familiar with similar stringed instruments Sasando. In Mandailing known gondang fur, while at Karo-keteng keteng there.

"The difference with Sasando, fur and keteng gondang keteng function-rhythmic, not melodic," said Rizaldi.

In the international association order in the past, influential Sasando even get to Madagascar. The country was also familiar with similar stringed musical instrument called the valiha Sasando taken as the national instrument of Madagascar.


Sasando become part of everyday life Hendrik Pah (59), artists as well as makers Rote Sasando origin who now live in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). Together with his colleague, Nane Messakh, Hendrik will play Sasando in performance-Quantum Megalithic held to commemorate 40 years of Kompas daily.

Hendrik stay away from the hustle and bustle of big cities. His home is modest in Oebelo Village, Central Kupang, NTT, it is located in the vicinity of the cornfield. Walled houses with dirt floors were made of palm leaf midrib. Roofs made of palm tree leaves. The basic ingredients of the house was not far different from the basic ingredients Sasando musical instrument that uses palm leaves as a cavity resonator.

In the backyard there are devices to make Sasando. Hendrik using technology understated for a lathe of wood used as a fastening strap Sasando.

The tools that function as a kind of lathe. The device is made of palm leaf midrib is stuck in the ground. At the end of a flexible arch was attached a rope that is connected to the pedal of the timber. Pedal arch and rope and it produces power that is used to drive the wheels. The wheel that is the player timber to be formed as a fastening strap Sasando.

From-paced life that's simple to make and play Sasando Hendrik who taught for generations his ancestors in his hometown on the island of Rote. Pah is a large family, including descendants of Sasando a well-known artists in NTT, particularly in the vicinity of Kupang. He played from one village to meet the call of those who hold the ceremony, starting from birth, marriage, until death.

Hendrik like singing Sasando and lives with his song. Human life cycle, from birth, marriage, until death, that he had come celebrate with Sasando and poetry. One night in Kupang, Hendrik and Nane Sasando while singing a duet played poems about life, about death. For those who already patterned with good pop music sound, singing Sasando Hendrik and his friends were probably going to sound strange, but that's a side of Indonesia, the forgotten.

Sasando in its development must deal with the changing times. In the past ei or strings Sasando skin incision is made from bamboo. There is also what makes the strings of mother-of-pearl leaves. Times have changed and the fibers of the motorcycle clutch wire was used as a rope Sasando. Some are choosing to use guitar strings.

Sasando also invited to enter the territory of pop culture. Zakarias Ndaong (27), a small kiosk owners Dalek Esa, in East Street, Oesapa, Kupang, skillfully bringing pop songs like I Have a Dream from ABBA which was later made famous boyband Westlife.

Zakarias seemed proud to play Sasando folding it in front of the guests who visit his stall. He then wore hats ti'ilangga, Rote typical hat made of palm leaves. He also played another ABBA song, namely Chiquitita. He also played a song Mother How are You Today. A buyer asks Zakarias play traditional songs.

By guest introduction he then asked to play the song "Japanese". Apparently that meant it was Kokoronotomo Japanese songs, pop songs that also happen to lyrical Japanese. The song was never popular in Indonesia in the mid-1980s.

Apparently, Sasando also follow the development of pop music. At least, Zakarias also ready to play the song Sheila on 7 to Peterpan song What She being popular. Presumably, Zakarias world is familiar with slang. Looking to the chamber behind the kiosk was seen posters pop band All Saints, 5ive until collection of the group The Rockers of '90.

To be used to play I Have a Dream, Kokoronotomo, or What She Did that, then Sasando must be stem with diatonic pitch. According Zakarias, the most widely purchased Sasando people are diatonic. In order to compete with the roar of time, Sasando also created an electronic version which is equipped with electric guitar like a spool device. For the electric version, Sasando had stripped lontarnya resonator.

For the sake of practicality, emerged a Sasando fold. Tangkupan palm leaves on Sasando can be folded like the blades of the fan that could be closed neatly. That Sasando adapted to the urban lifestyle practical all who created all things completely portable, easy to carry and does not take place.

What may make, the lifestyle community with high mobility need something very practical. Is not the Village Oebelo people now prefer to use colorful plastic chairs, a mass product that replaces wood chairs with raw materials increasingly difficult to obtain.

Sasando also has to deal with the global market. He was in the same arena with mass industrial products Sasando surrounding habitat. Not far from the kiosk was strewn Sasando LA Lights cigarette ad posters to Coca-Cola. There is also a bakery with which the fancy Paris Bakery. There is also a Toyota dealer. When Zakarias're playing Sasando, on the highway passing truck carrying dozens of motorcycle.

Sasando in the midst of a changing society: rapid mobility, consumerism, culture market. Sasando became the production of goods by following the market culture. Sasando sold the price varies according to type. Sasando folding sold at around USD 500,000. For electrical Sasando installed price of about Rp 1 million. Sasando conventional, nonlipat, sold at different prices in every crafter. There was a sell USD 100,000 to USD 150,000.

There is also a small souvenir Sasando measured about seven inches, was sold for Rp 50,000. Sasando souvenir version of this course can not be played. He is often used as souvenirs and can be displayed as a decoration without the clink-clink-beautiful. Sasando that changes could be a reflection of the changing face of the nation. Hopefully dentingnya still managed to be heard by people who like studying this recall his own face.

Calung is a Sundanese musical instrument which is the prototype (prototype) of angklung


Calung is a Sundanese musical instrument which is the prototype (prototype) of angklung. Unlike angklung played by shaken, how to beat calung is to mepukul stem (wilahan, bar) of the joints (bamboo tube), which is composed by titi barrel (scales) pentatonic (da-na-mi-ti-la) . Species of bamboo for the manufacture of most of the AWI calung wulung (black bamboo), but some are made from AWI friend (white bamboo).

Calung is a Sundanese musical instrument which is the prototype (prototype) of angklung. Unlike angklung played by shaken, beating calung way is by hitting the bar (wilahan, bar) of the joints (bamboo tube), which is composed by titi barrel (scales) pentatonic (da-na-mi-ti-la) . Species of bamboo for the manufacture of most of the AWI calung wulung (black bamboo), but some are made from AWI friend (white bamboo).

Understanding calung than as a musical instrument is also attached as performance art. There are two forms of Sunda calung known, namely calung calung rantay and portable.

Calung rantay dideretkan bar tube with leather strap spades (lulub) from the largest to the smallest, in number 7 wilahan (7 bamboo) or more. The composition of a single row of tools exist and there is also a two-row (calung ovarian and calung child / calung rincik). How to play calung rantay hit with two hands while sitting bersilah, usually calung was tied in a tree or a cubicle house (calung rantay Banjaran-Bandung), have also made shelf "cradle" of special bamboo or wood, for example calung tarawangsa in Cibalong and Cipatujah , Tasikmalaya, calung rantay in Banjaran and Kanekes / Bedouin.

The rows of bamboo-shaped tote calung pitched blade held together with tiny bamboo (paniir). Calung tote consists of four or five fruits, such as calung Kingking (consisting of 12 bamboo tubes), calung panepas (5 / 3 and 2 bamboo tubes), calung jongjrong (5 / 3 and 2 bamboo tubes), and calung howl (2 tube bamboo). Completeness calung in its development today there are only using calung Kingking one fruit, two fruits and calung panempas barking one, without using calung jongjrong How to play it was hit with the right hand using the paddle, and his left hand carrying / holding the instruments. Meanwhile, among other techniques dimelodi menabuhnya, dikeleter, dikemprang, dikempyung, diraeh, dirincik, dirangkep (diracek), salancar, corkscrew and solorok.

Type calung now developed and are widely known: calung portable. Calung tote is the kind of musical instrument that has been long known by the Sundanese people, for example in the Sundanese people in the area Sindang Heula - Brebes, Central Java, and could be the development of form calung rantay. But in West Java, this art form was pioneered in popularity when the students at the University of Padjadjaran (Padjadjaran University) who joined in the Department of Arts Student Council (Institute UNPAD art) developed this calung form through his creativity in 1961. According to one pioneer, Ekik Barkah, that pengkemasan calung tote with a show inspired by the shape of the game on reog show that combines elements of percussion, movement and song combined. Then in 1963 the form of games and percussion calung more developed again by friends of the Theatre Studiklub Bandung (STB; Koswara Sumaamijaya et al), and between the years 1964 to 1965 calung more prevalent again by my friends in UNPAD as a performance art that is entertainment and information (extension (Oman Suparman, he Ruchiyat, Eppi K., Enip Sukanda, Edi, Zahir, and friends), and group calung SMAN 4 Bandung (Abdurohman et al). Furthermore, emerging groups in society calung Bandung, for example Layung Sari, Ria Buana, and Glamour (1970) and others, up to today's pop idol names calung players include Tajudin Nirwan, Odo, Uko Hendarto, Adang Cengos, and Hendarso.

Calung arts development so rapid in West Java, until there is the addition of several instruments in calung, for example kosrek, Kacapi, piul (violin) and some even complete with keyboard and guitar. Vocal element is very dominant, so many famous pop vocalist calung, like Adang Cengos, and Hendarso.

Angklung Baduy used as art that supports a traditional ceremony




In the days of yore, the instrument Angklung is an instrument which has the function of religious ritual. The main function is as a medium angklung Host Dewi Sri (the goddess of rice / fertility) to come down to earth and give fertility to the growing season. Angklung used are tritonik (three tones), tonic tetra (four tones) and penta tonic (5 tones). Angklung of this type are often referred to as angklung Buhun which means "old Angklung" are not influenced by elements from outside. Until today in some villages still found a variety of activities that use angklung Buhun ceremony, including: harvest festival, ngaseuk pare, nginebkeun pare, pare ngampihkeun, seren taun, nadran, helaran, down earth, earth etc. charity.
Angklung Traditional
Angklung Baduy

It is not known from where the origin Baduy Angklung Angklung and since when this type began to emerge. Its spread is not too broad. This is expected because the forms show a monotonous and boring for the viewer. In Baduy Jero, Angklung Baduy used as art that supports a traditional ceremony honoring Sang Hyang Asri or Dewi Sri as the goddess of agriculture and fertility. The ceremony is known by the name ngaseuk pare, the ceremony is performed when the fields planting rice seeds, and pare ngampihkeun ceremony, which is when transporting rice harvest to the barn.

Baduy Angklung consists of four pieces, each shelf is called king-king, indo, panempas, and gong-gong. Dog-dog and the drum serves as an accompaniment rhythm and tempo rhythm track. The players wore black or white shucks, lomar, and iket. Number of players reached fifteen people, consisting of nine people who play the Angklung, three drum players, and the others acted as a dancer.

In the game, Angklung and dog-dog accompany their singing and dancing (ngalagu Jeung ngalage). Singing is done by bersahut-replication, while dancing, and moving around. The songs are played, among others, called Swing, swing, Aunt Lenjang, Cik Arileu, Hiah-hiah Long, Jari Gandang, Keupat Rendang, Lili-Liyang, Nganteh, Ngaseh, Oray-orayan, Pong-pok, Salaela, Yandi Bibi, armpit-armpit, and Pileuleuyan.
Angklung Beans

Angklung Beans was first made by Mr. Bonce in 1795 in Kampung Cipurut, Village Baros, Arjasari, Bandung. Narrated, Mr. Bonce the day-to-day work as pembubu fish in the river, a river to discover where she kept the traps overflow flooding. The flood washed away some bamboo sticks and then he took home and stored on the stove. Once dried, the bamboo was pounded and turned out to produce a good sound and loud. The bamboo is then processed and made Angklung music instrument. Angklung Angklung is then called Beans. Mr. Bonce create seven sets of Angklung Beans are then sold to Aki Dartiam. By Aki Dartiam,-Angklung Angklung is then combined with dog-dog and trumpet.

Beans Angklung played as an art that accompanies the ceremony - the ceremony of the people or events that involved many people, including ceremonies nginebkeun pare or transporting rice from the fields to the house, ceremony or parade heleran accompany the child from the home circumcision circumcised child to the home Bengkong (pengkhitan ), weddings, and in welcoming national holidays.
Angklung gubrag

In ancient times, Kampung Cipining, Bogor, were threatened by famine due to rice crops in the fields that do not grow well. Residents believe that the disaster occurred due to anger Dewi Sri, who was depressed because of lack of entertainment, or being angry with people. Residents who also believed that Goddess Sri dwells in space and then made great efforts to invite back Dewi Sri to come down to earth and gave the blessing for the fertility of rice plant population. Several attempts were made, among which is to provide alms offerings, events, performing arts such as flute, Karinding performances, and others.

But these efforts do not bring results. Dewi Sri is still not willing to come down to earth, and the rice plant population still does not grow well. Finally, arose then a young man named Mukhtar. He invites his friends to go to Mount Cirangsad to cut down bamboo trees letters. Bamboo is then dried and while doing dead geni for forty days, Mukhtar to process the bamboo into waditra Angklung. Angklung is then enhanced with added two-dog dog lojor. He teaches the game Angklung kemudin to residents and arrange a ceremony for the Goddess Sri, using art as a medium Angklung. Apparently after the ceremony, the rice plant population is growing well, fertile, and grain-grain was so pithy.

It was believed as a sign that the Goddess Sri has received the ceremony, down to earth and willing to give a blessing of fertility. Because it was able to lure Angklung Dewi Sri to come down from heaven (in Sundanese Ngagubrag), is then called Angklung Angklung gubrag. Angklung gubrag seren taun played at the ceremony, the massive ceremony at the end of harvest. In addition, Angklung gubrag also played in the ceremonies of a celebration of family, holiday events, national holidays, and other events relating to and involving many people.
Angklung Bungko

Angklung Bungko Bungko contained in the Village, located on the border between Cirebon and Indramayu. Angklung Bungko first believed to have made more than 600 years old. Even so, the first Bungko Angklung is still there, stored properly, even when not pitched longer. Angklung first Bungko is always included in every performance art Angklung Bungko as its official symbol of the performance. Angklung Bungko preserved by a society leader named Sheikh large splotch or Ki Gede Bungko, once used as an art that accompanies Bungko Village residents fought against pirate attacks. By Ki Gede Bungko, Angklung Bungko then used as the arts that support the spread of Islam. In addition to these types Angklung, there are many more other types Angklung spread in almost all corners of the region of West Java. Angklung Jinjing noted there is often played in events entertainment, there is no vocal arts in the region Angklung Kanekes, Angklung with the lyric art form in the region susualan Panamping, sered Angklung art in the form of Tasikmalaya district race waditra Angklung play for children, and deodorized.

One of the preservation and development of traditional Angklung art has been done by Udjo Ngalagena through training programs in the arts of traditional Angklung Saung Angklungnya art studio, where each - each participant was required to learn and master the traditional Angklung Angklung training before stepping into the modern or other Sundanese arts which has been modified.
Modern Angklung (Padaeng)

In 1938, Daeng, a teacher Hollandsch Inlandsche School (HIS) in Kuningan regency, West Java, considered to have worked well angklung put back position in the middle of the modernization of society by performing Angklung musical instruments from simple tools and just scale scales pentatonic scale into complex Angklung diatonic scales. Angklung is later known as Angklung Daeng or commonly known as Angklung Padaeng. Angklung Daeng, seen from the procedure how to play the tune and scale the ladder, allowing to reach repertoire of popular-song repertoire, not only contained in the national musical treasures, but also other Western music.

Daeng is very fond childhood angklung. At the time teaching at HIS Brass, learn the ins and outs of Angklung Daeng in more depth, including the creation and maintenance of a character named Mr. angklung maker Djaja. Daeng which is currently still studying in Kweekschool studied Western music, and then try to make the use Angklung scale diatonic scales. Angklung Daeng considers the diatonic scale tend to be more communicative to be taught in schools. In addition, the public has been more familiar than the diatonic scales scale scales pentatonic scale.

With the help of Mr. Djaja, Daeng successfully created a set of Angklung diatonic which was first introduced to children Scouts where Daeng itself acts as a builder. This instrument is then quickly accepted into the art facilities in Pramukanya group life, especially in the scouting meetings and camp. Meanwhile, Angklung Padaeng in Brass became famous widely in various circles. In 1946 the arts group believed Angklung Daeng demonstrates skill at entertainment events in Negotiations Linggar Teak. In 1950, Daeng moved to Bandung and teaching at SMP 2 Bandung. While in Bandung too, Angklung Daeng develop given the honor of diatonic and displays them in art events in 1955 Asian-African Conference.

Differences with traditional Angklung Angklung Daeng, except in scale scales, are also included in how to play. Traditional Angklung Angklung is a joint that is played by a player only, while Angklung Daeng made to be played together, where each player plays only one note only, and harmony can be achieved with kerjasana song that neatly between the players. As a teacher, Daeng see it as something positive for education, especially in the formation of character education. Seen in the game Angklung properties work together, discipline, precision, skill, and sense of responsibility. Similarly, on matters which are basic fundamentals in music education, such as generating attention to the music, turn on music and develop musicality, melody, rhythm, and harmony.

Daeng Sutigna not only succeeded in enriching the treasury instrument Angklung, which previously only berlaraskan gamut of traditional (pentatonic), be increased by the Angklung is diatonic chromatic scale, but Mr. Daeng is also very instrumental in its development into the modern music, including melody area of 3 ½ octaves, is equipped with a chord or akompanyemen Angklung (large and small), to accompany the musical instrument Angklung.

Angklung melodies have a number for each angklung, which will be converted into a certain tone, in accordance with the basic tone is used. While angklung accompanist / akompanyemen already have a chord that remains, and will not change despite the song being played to have different tones. Broadly speaking, the division of Angklung Padaeng is as given below:
Development of Indonesia's Angklung
A Miracle Angklung

Another thing is the development of values means in sound art education such as:

* Generating interest in music.
* Turning on musicality.
* Develop a sense of rhythm, melody, harmony, and others.
