Sir Oliver Joseph Lodge, FRS was a physicist and writer involved in the development of key patents in wireless telegraphy. Lodge, in his Royal Institution lectures ("The Work of Hertz and Some of His Successors"), coined the term "coherer." He gained the "syntonic" (or tuning) patent from the United States Patent Office in 1898.
