Dr. Martin Cooper

+Martin Cooper, Ph.D.

28 years chief technical officer with Motorola. "Father" of the cellular telephone. Cooper is the inventor of the cellular telephone that started the world wireless communications revolution.

Dr. Cooper is founder of ArrayComm, a company that works on researching smart antenna technology and improving wireless networks, and was the corporate director of Research and Development for Motorola. He received his degree in electrical engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1950, received his master's degree from the same institution in 1957 and an honorary doctorate in 2004.

Dr.Cooper is the inventor named on US patent 3906166 "Radio telephone system" filed on October 17, 1973. He is considered the inventor of the first portable handset and the first person to make a call on a portable cell phone on April 3, 1973, to the bewilderment of passers-by in a New York City street. That first call, placed to his rival Joel Engel, Bell Labs' head of research, caused a fundamental technology and communications market shift toward the person and away from the place. It was the incarnation of his vision for personal wireless communications, distinct from cellular car phones. Dr. Cooper later revealed that watching Captain Kirk talking in his communicator on the tv show Star Trek inspired him to research the mobile phone.
