What devices did Heinrich Hertz invent or improve upon in his experiments?

Hertz invented several devices to conduct his experiments, notable among them were the spark-gap transmitter and receiver, which were pivotal in his discovery of electromagnetic waves. He optimized his apparatus to demonstrate the wave-like characteristics of these signals, such as reflection and refraction, integral to confirming Maxwell's theories on electromagnetism.
