AtifShameem Improved Antenna to revolutionise mobile battery life Shamim, revolutionising life

­ Shamim, an electronics PhD student at , has built a prototype that extends the battery life of mobile phones, by getting rid of all the wires used to connect the with the .
The involves a packaging technique to connect the with the circuits via a wireless connection between a micro- embedded within the circuits on the chip.

“This has not been tried before - that the circuits are connected to the wirelessly. They’ve been connected through wires and a bunch of other components. That’s where the power gets lost,” Mr. Shamim said.
He estimates his module consumes 12 times less power than the traditional, wired-. It is also much simpler in design, lowering the overall cost of any hand-held device, he said.
Mr. Shamim has filed in the U.S. and in Canada.
Earlier this year, the for Research and Innovation honoured Mr. Shamim and Mr. as of the year for their work in the field of wireless .
Shamim says his major goals for the innovation still lie in , including his original as well as remote healthcare sensors to monitor heart-rate, blood pressure and . He and have also started up a company called Monitoring, and the two have already filed patents for the technology they developed. Clearly he has come a long way from when he first came to Canada, but he says his goals are still the same.

“My aim when I came here was to get some real skills in this domain, learn some new things and be an expert of something that would be valuable for me to find employment,” said Shamim. “I was looking for a for these small . …That’s where the trend is: make it cheaper, smaller, more efficient, so I think this is a good step towards that.”
