Additional information

First peer-reviewed journal paper investigating poor mobile-telephone call quality of certain smart-phone products. Associated news item “The Grip of Death” [tinyurl.com/gen-eng-15] attracted ~35 international press articles and catalysed collaboration with Peregrine Semi US [contact: Chief Marketing Officer]. This addressed re-tuning of antenna elements to reduce impact of hand, head or body when in close proximity to antenna using digitally tunable capacitors. Paper also highlighted importance of radiation efficiency and weaknesses in RF circuitry to research community, with EPSRC subsequently identifying RF and Microwave as a growth area through Shaping Capability [tinyurl.com/gen-eng-88].
