Abstract
In 1930, The Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) selected Peder O. Pedersen as the recipient of its Medal of Honor. He had become well known for his contributions to the development of the Poulsen arc system for wireless telegraphy and telephony. He also was a leader in engineering education in Denmark. He had become a Fellow of the IRE in 1915 and authored several papers published by the Proceedings of the IRE between 1917 and 1940. He also became a Fellow of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in 1920 and was a member of several other professional societies of science and engineering in various European countries
