Dar maktabi ofitseroni Kronshtadt (1883—1901) va donishkadai tekhnikii Idorai bahri (1890—1900) dars dodaast; professori fizika (1901) va direktori Instituti elektrotekhnikii Peterburg (az 1905), injenerelektriki fakhri (1900) va azoi fakhrii Jamiyati tekhnikii rus (1901).

Soli 1894 Popov priyomnike sokht, ki bo yorii on signalhoro ba masofai yakchand metr naqlu qabul kardan mumkin ast va dar in kor avvalin bor antennaro istifoda burd. Popov 7 mayi 1895 dar shubai fizikai Jamiyati fizikayu khimiyai rus dar dunyo yakumin shuda kori radiostansiyai qabulkunandaro namoish dod. Soli 1896 ba masofai 250 m signalho (radiogramma)-ro be sim firistod. Bahori soli 1897 durii radioaloqaro to 600 m va tiramohi khudi hamon sol — 5 km va nimai soli 1901 ba 150 km rasond. Soli 1897 az obekthoi kalon (kishti) inikos gardidani radiomavjhoro mushohida kard. Soli 1895 baroi qayd kardani razryadhoi barqi asbobe (grozootmetchik) sokht.
