She was a famous Hollywood star and the first woman to appear naked on film. George Antheil was a piano player and composer. So just how did these two come to invent the latest technology used by the mobile phone? Or did they? She was labelled 'the most beautiful girl in the world' and he 'the bad boy of music' yet way back in 1942 they took out a patent covering the vital radio technique that we now call spread spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis absorbing book traces the eventful and sometimes scandalous lives of Hedy and George. It tells the fascinating story of radio and the ongoing battle to make it secure and of similar quality to wired communication. Spread spectrum emerged from that battle to become the solution of choice for anything from mobile phones to wireless computer networks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rob Walters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1419621297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781419621291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Booksurge Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/19\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.54d","brand":"Rob Walters","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43934764761343,"sku":"9781419621291","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_087ef561-3e02-4a38-adcd-8b1bad631e32.jpg?v=1681415914","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spread-spectrum-rob-walters-9781419621291","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
