Novel Dielectric Resonator Structures and Metamaterials

It is the aim of this proposal to look at new kinds of communication components that are made from ceramic dielectric material. The key innovation in these components is that they are based upon innovative ceramic shapes such as a helix or spiral. Such components could offer several substantial advantages in a modern communiation system. These improvements in the efficiency of communication systems would have very significant benefits for the general public and also for the mobile phone companies. If substantial increases in signal strength (of perhaps 3-5 dB) could be attained, through improved components, this would mean that emitted mobile phone radiation levels could be substantially reduced. Alternatively if the emitted power levels were kept the same then the number of new antenna masts required for new systems such as 3G could be dramatically reduced.
