For all the technical difficulties we regularly experience with our mobile phones and other cellular devices, there may soon be a solution, thanks to Arun Raaza, a young research student at Swansea University in the UK.
"[The] antenna in your mobile rotates in all possible directions trying to capture the signals," says Raaza. "This leads to a drastic reduction in the battery life of your phone. In the military, personnel go into war zones carrying huge batteries, because their wireless transmitters tend to exhaust quickly trying to capture the radio signals."
Raaza has patented what he calls the ‘45-degree beem steerable antenna’ in the UK.
"if you have a mobile with a pre-installed 45 degree beam steerable antenna or if your service provider uses the same, then there will be no question of a low signal problem.This can also be used in navigation, satellite communication, wireless LAN, RADAR etc."
Raaza, a former student of the Dr.MGR Educational and Research Institute in India, is now pursuing his research with Swansea University in the UK. When he discovered the 45 degree beam steerable antenna, the Swansea University exempted Raaza from all his fees.
‘I went to UK to learn about the latest developments in technology and I wish to comeback and be a part of the 4G revolution in India’
Dr.Amit Mehta, a lecturer in the Wireless Research group, Raaza’s guide and mentor,was a constant source of support throughout his research.
