The unlikely inventor of spread spectrum

Unread post by lawndart » Thu Dec 08, 2011 2:16 pm

I was fascinated to learn today that 1940's actress and pin-up Hedy Lamarr invented spread spectrum technology during WW2. You guys already knew this but didn't get round to telling me. If I were 70-odd years older I'd find a way to thank her...
