Other Columbia Communications Activities
The Institute is part of Columbia University's important role in
communications research. Columbia has a long-standing record in
communications research that links academia and the industry. While at
Columbia, Edwin Howard Armstrong invented FM radio, in collaboration (and
later in bitter dispute) with David Sarnoff, head of RCA. Arthur Schawlow
