A huge thank you goes to Dr. Ted Simpson for his Hertzian Antenna contribution to the Electrical Engineering department!! Heinrich Hertz built and used a similar antenna to be the first to knowingly transmit and receive electromagnetic waves in the years of 1887-1888. These experimental results confirmed Maxwell’s “Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field.” Dr. Simpson built this antenna himself and graciously donated it for our students' education. Contributions such as these ensure our students are getting up to date education and sought after information. Thank you again Dr. Simpson, we really apprecite your donation!
