Research on Online Reviews Reliability

This study examines the factors that have an impact on online reviews reliability. A theoretical framework was built and empirically tested with a sample of 200 interviewees. Results of structural equation model show that the online reviews quality and perceived risk have positive impact on online review reliability. Accordingly, online review value and number have positive impact on online review quality, customer involvement and reviewer acception have positive impact on perceived risk. The results of this study also suggest that the character of online review and reviewer indirectly impact review reliability by impacting intermediate variables

A Planar Low-Profile Meander Antenna Design for Wireless Terminal Achieving Low RF Interference and High Isolation in Multi-Antenna Systems

In this article, a meander line internal antenna used for wireless terminal is proposed. The current of this antenna is mostly distributed on the antenna radiator itself, rather than on the main board of the wireless device. As a result, the chance of having radiofrequency (RF) interference issues, which usually result in receiver desensitization in wireless radios, can be significantly reduced. The antenna has good radiation performance in the vertical polarization with a low physical profile, compared with the existing antenna designs for typical wireless terminals. The antenna has efficiency similar to the monopole antenna with much less reference/ground plane dependence, achieving lower RF interference, which is demonstrated by the noise coupling measurements in a predefined digital clock - antenna configuration. Furthermore, the mutual coupling (i.e., isolation) between two such antennas is studied and the envelope correlation coefficient between the two antennas is found to be low. A router assembled with the two proposed antennas is tested, and the total isotropic sensitivity is found lower compared with monopole antennas, due to the characteristics of low RF interference and high isolation of the proposed antenna
