A transatlantic perspective on 20 emerging issues in biological engineering

Advances in biological engineering are likely to have substantial impacts on global society. To explore these potential impacts we ran a horizon scanning exercise to capture a range of perspectives on the opportunities and risks presented by biological engineering. We first identified 70 potential issues, and then used an iterative process to prioritise 20 issues that we considered to be emerging, to have potential global impact, and to be relatively unknown outside the field of biological engineering. The issues identified may be of interest to researchers, businesses and policy makers in sectors such as health, energy, agriculture and the environment

Wideband blade monopole antenna with sleeved coaxial feed

To be presented at Loughborough Antennas & Propagation Conference, Loughborough, 16th - 17 th November 2009A wideband planar monopole antenna requiring a small ground plane is described. Numerical and measured results confirms the antenna has good radiation efficiency and stable omni-directional radiation patterns over an impedance bandwidth of 4.1:1 covering the 200-850 MHz frequency spectrum
