Sir Oliver Joseph Lodge (June 12,1851 - August 22, 1940 ) was an English physicist and writer involved in the development of key patents in wireless telegraphy. In 1879, Lodge became interested in generating (and detecting) electromagnetic waves. In 1894, Lodge gave a lecture on the work of Hertz and transmitted radio signals to demonstrate their potential for communication. Lodge improved Branly's coherer radio wave detector by adding a trembler which increased the device's sensitivity.
