Harold Henry "Bev" Beverage (October 14, 1893 – January 27, 1993) was an American inventor and researcher in electrical engineering. He is known for his invention and development of the wave antenna, which came to be known as the Beverage antenna. Less widely known (outside of the community of science history researchers) is that Bev was a pioneer of radio engineering and his engineering research paralleled the development of radio transmission technology throughout his professional career with significant contributions not only in the field of radio frequency antennas but also radio frequency propagation and systems engineering.

Biography

Harold Beverage was born on October 14, 1893, in North Haven, Maine, to Fremont Beverage and his wife, Lottie Smith. He received a B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Maine in 1915, and went to work for General Electric Company the following year as a radio-laboratory assistant to Dr. Ernst Alexanderson. In 1920, he was placed in charge of developing receivers for transoceanic communications at the Radio Corporation of America in Riverhead, New York. Three years later, at the age of 30, he received the IRE Morris N. Liebmann Memorial Prize "for his work on directional antennas."

RCA named Beverage chief research engineer of communications in 1929, a position he held until 1940. At that time, he was promoted to vice president in charge of research and development at RCA Communications Inc., a subsidiary of the Radio Corporation of America. Beverage retired in 1958 from that position and as director of radio research, but continued to work in communications as a consultant.

1938年、アメリカ無線クラブは、アンテナシステム開発における功績を称え、ビバレッジにアームストロング賞を授与した。表彰状には、ビバレッジのアンテナは「あらゆるタイプの電波アンテナの先駆け」であると記されている。ビバレッジは1945年にIRE名誉賞を受賞し、「無線研究と発明における功績、国内および世界規模の無線通信の効率を大幅に向上させた技術開発の実用化、そして無線技術者協会への献身が認められた」とされている。 [ 1 ] 1956年、アメリカ電気学会（AIEE）はビバレッジに「国内および世界規模の無線通信の進歩の基礎となる原理の構想と応用における、先駆的かつ卓越した技術的業績」を称え、 IRE名誉賞を受賞している。

ビバレッジ氏は1993年1月27日、ロングアイランドのポートジェファーソンにあるジョン・T・マザー病院で死去した。享年99歳、ニューヨーク州ストーニーブルックに住んでいた。
