description: "Christian Hülsmeyer (Huelsmeyer) was a German inventor, physicist and entrepreneur. He is credited with the invention of radar, although his apparatus, called the \"Telemobiloscope,\" could not directly measure distance to a target. The Telemobiloscope was, however, the first patented device using radio waves for detecting the presence of distant objects like ships."
