Behind the Wireless tells the story of women at the BBC in the 1920s and 30s. Broadcasting was brand new in Britain and the BBC developed without many of the overt discriminatory practices commonplace at the time. Women were employed at all levels, except the very top, for instance as secretaries, documentary makers, advertising representatives, and librarians. Three women held Director level posts, Hilda Matheson (Director of Talks), Mary Somerville (Director of School Broadcasting), and Isa Benzie (Foreign Director). Women also produced the programmes aimed at female listeners and brought women broadcasters to the microphone. There was an ethos of equality and the chance to rise through the ranks from accounts clerk to accompanist. But lurking behind the façade of modernity were hidden inequalities in recruitment, pay, and promotion and in 1932 a marriage bar was introduced. Kate Murphy examines how and why the interwar BBC created new opportunities for women.

Since the discovery of electromagnetic waves less than 150 years ago, the application of wireless communications technology has not only revolutionized our daily lives, but also fundamentally changed the course of world history. A Brief History of Everything Wireless charts the fascinating story of wireless communications. The book leads the reader on an intriguing journey of personal triumphs and stinging defeats, relating the prominent events, individuals and companies involved in each progressive leap in technology, with a particular focus on the phenomenal impact of each new invention on society. Beginning at the early days of spark-gap transmitters, this tale touches on the emergence of radio and television broadcasting, as well as radio navigation and radar, before moving on to the rise of satellite, near-field and light-based communications. Finally, the development of wireless home networks and the explosive growth of modern cellular technologies are revealed, complete with a captivating account of their corresponding company histories and behind-the-scenes battles over standards. For those wishing to peek behind the magic curtain of friendly user interfaces and clever engineering, and delve further into various processes underlying the ubiquitous technology we depend upon yet take for granted, the book also contains special “TechTalk” chapters that explain the theoretical basics in an intuitive way.

The concept of wireless technology is not novel either. Many engineers, however, lack experience with the development of wireless technologies or the incorporation of wireless devices into the operation of industrial facilities. The theory and practise of wireless communications in an industrial setting lack in depth technical knowledge. Not everyone is convinced that wireless solutions can provide the promised reliability in the typically unfavourable conditions seen in most manufacturing settings. This textbook provides a holistic overview of wireless communication principles and explains the tangled web of ideas behind these innovations in a way that is accessible to students with a foundational understanding of probability and digital communication. The purpose of this book is to provide a cohesive presentation of current ideas in wireless communication and to contextualize those ideas within the larger framework of the wireless systems to which they have been applied. This work was designed for use in a first-year graduate level wireless communication course. Proficiency in signal and system theory, probability, and digital communication from an undergraduate or starting graduate level course is assumed.
