DESCRIPTION:Mobile communication is an essential part of modern life and i
 s an essential tool for wealth creation\, illustrated by a demand-led comp
 ound data growth rate of 40% per year. The rapid growth of the wireless co
 mmunications market coupled with the desired to make optimum use of the li
 mited available spectrum is driving research into development of novel ant
 enna\, materials and wireless communication technologies. The advancement 
 in these areas enable new  applications been constantly developed where co
 mplex performance are often required. It is important to have a good under
 standing of the communication systems as these ultimately affect the cover
 age and reliability of the network radio links. This talk presents some re
 search highlights in communication technologies carried out at the UK Nati
 onal Physical Laboratory (NPL). This includes electrically small antennas\
 , smart antenna\, wireless sensor networks\, body-worn antennas\, metamate
 rials\, multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO)\, 5G communications\, etc. T
 his \ntalk will cover also an overview of NPL as well as research and deve
 lopment for electromagnetic technologies and measurements at NPL.
