The Engineering Process of the FM

Radio

Edwin Howard ArmstrongArmstrong came up with the design of the FM

Radio and built it successfully

Inventor

AM radio had too much static so Edwin H. Armstrong created FM radio. This was during 1912 to 1933.

Identify The Problem

In the process to create a new circuit for AM, he developed the FM radio signal.

Brainstorm

It took Armstrong 21 years to finally achieve his goal to make a static free radio

He had to discover a method of broadcasting with full sound and without static

Design

After several years of working on the AM circuit, Armstrong developed FM radio.

Build Test & EvaluateRedesign

Audion Circuit

Electricity

Later after his success in producing a FM radio he went to a conference to show his invention. There he shared his idea.

After WWII FCC required FM receivers in all TV’s, but RCA had stolen Armstrong’s patents.

Share Solution

Timeline1912 Armstrong thought of a way to create FM radio

In 1933 Armstrong built a FM radio

After WWII FCC required all TV’s to have a FM receiver , but RCA stole Armstrong’s FM patents and he didn’t make any money

In 1954 Armstrong killed himself by jumping of a 10 story apartment balcony
