The Incredible Shrinking Antenna

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the two-inches-is-plenty dept.

pinkUZI writes "NYTimes ran an article yesterday about a new material, created by a general manager at Integral Technologies, that would enable use of the plastic mold of a cell phone as its Antenna. Pretty neat, as it actually increases the size of the antenna while decreasing the footprint."

    Gee... 2.4ghz right in the palm of your hand and
    contact with the ear and skull. Someone should
    do a health study on this. I treat a cell phone
    like fire. And my antennea is as far as it can go away from my head. And I tested it with a meter to see where the safe zone was.
